And I thought Oxford had a hiring freeze this year.
Exodus from Oxford
-
New hires:
https://www.economics.ox.ac.uk/our-people
de Ferra, Nathaniel Lane, Romei, MonekeFour ASSOCIATE professors at Oxford, they add a grand total of 1 top publication (pub coauthored with senior academics). Also, two of them were a partner hire, one with very little prospects. Guess they needed people to endure endless college teaching. Let´s do a predictive model here:
Four ASSOCIATE professors at the "top" university of the world, gives you how many top pubs gathered? .... 1
Standards for being ASSOCIATE prof at the "top" university in the world higher than ever!Envious, you are envious, only envious. Bla bla

That is an interesting hypothesis. Maybe people are envious or maybe there is something actually wrong with the place. Some of us haven't been there but luckily there is plenty of people who already were there and left. Would you say they were envious? Or there is something actually wrong with the department administration.
Don't get me wrong, I wish the best for your department, but I highly doubt envy is a factor here for people leaving and failing to retain people. The Oxford Exodus continues and mayne something should be done about it.

Do you think that stating that some new hiring in Oxford are not good is a way to denounce issues? To me such statements just show how people here are envious.
Or how some insiders try to use the blog to nudge some proposal to colleagues obviously in their favor.

Sounds like a very harmonious department. No wonder Oxford never modernises, any proposal for modernising is stopped by old entitled fellows.
How difficult is to have a standard academic rank and pay people decently so they don´t leave? Oh yeah it is Oxford so they are "the best" in the world and they can do what they want....

Oxford econ has more erc starting grants than any other dept in Europe. 2 this year
Typical of British academia, glorifying grants instead of actual top publications. Oxford is interested in the money you can make convincing bureaucrats, not the papers you can produce. Good luck to the new hires surviving in that system.
Pro tip: Add covid somewhere in your grant proposal to convince the never ending wisdom of the bureaucrats. Impact section of the grant, make up all the downstream effects without ever considering you need a control group, or an actual impact evaluation. The more claims with less evidence you make, the more bureaucrats will be happy, the larger checklist satisfied, the more money for Oxford, and more the university rewards you. Everyone happy right? right?

Interesting times ahead!

endowed chair at QMUL, not Oxford. QMUL to toilets!
2 top 5s in 20 years = endowed chair at Oxford.
This is worse than I thought. Competition at the top, lolOxford has just hired a QMUL star, who was given an endowed chair. Tough competition at the top, Warwick out of the game.
only Warwick, UEast Anglia and Queen Mary are top top. Oxford doomed.
Yep, and now she's listed on the website...
