NoteThe record claims Jacob Steinhardt holds the role of 'Assistant Professor of Statistics' at UC Berkeley. However, the source text clearly states he is an 'Associate Professor' of Statistics and EECS. This is a direct contradiction of the role field. The person and organization match the claim, but the title is incorrect. The startDate of 2019 is not directly addressed in the source, so it cannot be verified or contradicted from this text alone, but the role contradiction is clear and material.
