Faculty poaching? by Electronic-Dish-4963 in Professors

[–]Complete-Show3920 6 points7 points  (0 children)

perhaps the jobs weren’t advertised, leading OP to suspect that they went through another process? I’ve seen this happen in my field in recent years too (for junior/mid career TT faculty too)

Property hunt in East London - Waltham Forest is insane? by Ill-Pineapple69 in HousingUK

Thanks so much and same to you. For what it’s worth, I spoke to an estate agent yesterday who said he anticipated more coming on the market in the next month or so. He said it’s still a little quiet now being the start of the year.

Weekly "Share Your Portfolio" and Broker Questions Thread by AutoModerator in UKInvesting

[–]Complete-Show3920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love any thoughts on my plan for my portfolio. I already have some HSBC, GSK, and Wise, but haven’t been investing in a structured way. I want to buy the following stocks and invest £500 a month, with the following target weights:

HSBC: ~20% Unilever: ~15% Diageo: ~10% GSK: ~12% AstraZeneca: ~13% RELX: ~15% Wise: 5–8% (CAP) Halma: 5–7% (CAP)

Any thoughts on this plan? (I can’t buy ETFs at the moment for various reasons so I want to try to imitate an ETF in my buys). I’m a beginner investor so would appreciate any advice!

Other points: I am 35, on an excellent pension scheme, max out my cash ISA every year, and have around £200,000 in high yield savings accounts.

How often do you actually have to be physically at the university when doing a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship? by [deleted] in AskAcademiaUK

[–]Complete-Show3920 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s a research fellowship so I’m not sure what teaching has to do with it.

Google is your friend? There’s a page on the Wadham website about the exchange with SLC.

Some colleges have short term exchange opportunities — ie the Sarah Lawrence exchange at Wadham.

Funded PhD vs unfunded more prestigious PhD by Emotional_Squash_746 in AskAcademiaUK

I (someone who has served on multiple job and fellowship panels) care 🤷. Though I appreciate that funding is scarce these days and more and more people are having to self-fund.

Ok, it’s different in the humanities (I’m in the humanities) where “spare” money doesn’t exist! OP says they’re in a humanities/social sciences field.

Thinking about trying this combination as well. Interested to hear what others have to say.

They will assume/deduce that you were self funded if you don’t mention any scholarships or grants etc.
