The source confirms MacAskill held an associate professorship at the University of Oxford and was associated with Lincoln College, Oxford. However, the source does not explicitly state the start date of 2014. The source does mention he completed his DPhil in 2014 and then 'took up a junior research fellowship at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, before being elected to an associate professorship at the University of Oxford.' This suggests the associate professorship came after 2014, but the exact start date is not specified in the source text. The role and organization are confirmed, but the start date is unverifiable from this source.
