Have they made the offer?

If you are there on a flyout ask as many people as you can (juniors, seniors, HoD, Dean, etc) about the nature of the contract w.r.t. "tenure" aka "PDP", then come to realize that they are essential offering you a three year postdoc with an one-sided option to convert it into a permanent position.

Insider here.... juniors if you have an alternate offer then please do not join Exeter.... initially they might offer more money but overtime you will know the real thing....then dean here gives random letters to seniors asking them to leave or to teach more. It is a pity how a good department is being destroyed
