Personnel: Will MacAskill at University of Oxford (Associate Professor of Philosophy)
1 evidence check
Last checked: 4/4/2026
The source confirms MacAskill held an associate professorship at University of Oxford and that 2014 was when he completed his DPhil. However, the source states he was 'elected to an associate professorship' after his DPhil (2014) and 'left after one year,' suggesting the role began around 2014-2015, not definitively in 2014. The source does not explicitly confirm the title 'Associate Professor of Philosophy' — it only says 'associate professorship.' The source also mentions his role as Research Fellow at the Global Priorities Institute, which may have been concurrent or subsequent. The exact start date of 2014 for the associate professorship is plausible but not explicitly confirmed by the source text.
