| Oct 9, 2018 at 2:33 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | "Quantifying a reputation" is rather a contradiction in terms; you're asking for an objective measure of that which is inherently subjective. Also, you're likely talking to a lot of people who have been on the receiving end of "quantitative" evaluations and are keenly aware of their shortcomings. | |
| Oct 9, 2018 at 1:34 | comment | added | Freddie | @Anyon Thank you for the references! I may have seen these at some point in time (amidst my anxious-ridden premonitions of the future). But I am looking for a more quantitative way to judge an academic, if possible. | |
| Oct 9, 2018 at 1:26 | comment | added | Anyon | Related to your second question: How to judge the reputation of a potential advisor or research group for good quality research for PhD?. Related to your reason for asking: Choosing between an older, prominent supervisor and a younger, junior supervisor for PhD. | |

| Oct 8, 2018 at 22:36 | comment | added | Idonknow | I suppose nowadays it is very hard to land a teaching job in any university due to supply and demand. | |
| Oct 8, 2018 at 21:58 | comment | added | Alexander Woo | Would you be happy in an academic job that is 75% teaching, 20% service, and 5% research? (I'm trying to figure out what you mean by 'academic job'.) | |
