Hmph. Confused, too. Or perhaps I should be offended? |

Two types? I have always wondered how many. Turns out it is two. I'll be damned.

It's really tough here. You can't walk down the street without someone pestering you to take up an academic position in their department.

Hah--we stand in the arrivals hall at Heathrow and pluck unemployed academics out of the line and get them to sign contracts right there. By the time they hit the customs desks, we've sorted out the work permits and other paperwork so they sail through. Then we carry their bags to the limo. Seriously, weneed, you'll find the same two types of unis in the UK, plus many more types, and fewer of all types than in the US. Those of us who view our UK positions positively are bound to be a bit insulted. |

I did three interviews in the UK/Europe and I already had a job offer from a UK university which I'd like to go. I'm just saying I probably couldn't find this match in the US. Sorry if my post confused or "offended" you.

I thought there were 10 types. Those who understand binary, and those who don't? |
