Wonderful they found someone who fits so well to such a narrow and specific job description (quantitative modeling, supply chain networks, energy systems, risk perception, relevant socio-economic issues, development of alternative fuels...) and who lives right around the corner...

seriously, RWTH is a joke, besides maybe ML with his OR stuff they only have lemons.
That's interesting! But it does not explain why places like Passau (see above) hire mediocre people for a W3 instead of attracting (or hiring back) good younger faculty that went abroad into the TT system.I think no-one wants to hire people who are not good. My view is that this is mostly down to the way the hiring process is organized and the resulting incentives for the decisionmakers. Its super lengthy and making an offer that is not accepted has huge costs for everyone involved at the hiring university. The same applies for hiring a super-productive researcher who four years later moves on because Passau becomes too small and she/he got better offers. So, if there is any doubt you would take the job, or that you might stay at least mid-term, this makes it much less likely to get the offer.
This is the benign part of the explanation. Unfortunately, there are also enough places that are unable to distinguish mediocre from good people.

I guess most places know what Top 5s are. Or are you using some other metric than publications to distinguish between good and mediocre people?

They may know the top 5, but often heavily downplay them if they haven't published there themselves.
And many of them do not regularly read top 5 publications but are rather involved in more local or/and rather obscure journals.
Which is reasonable since what often distinguishes Top 5s from good field journals is the quality of the network not the quality of the research.

Pah, the network excuse again... hilarious. And what makes you think that good field journals are not affected by the quality of the network?
warum sollen leute in passau auf top5 achten? dort muss man unterrichten und ein paar sitzungen hinter sich bringen. was soll jemand, der davon träumt eigentlich nach harvard zu gehören, dort?Dafür gibt's dann aber doch zu viel Geld und Freiheiten.
I have never read a more German post, in the negative sense.
Lol...are these journals even refereed?!?!

Das bestreite ich gar nicht. Aber für diese Freiheiten muss man andere Sachen können als top5. Das wird hier beständig ignoriert.
