Intellectual inbreeding (the hiring of the university's own graduates to be prof) was kind of a major concern in the past. People worry about not having a diverse pool of talents/ knowledge. The idea is that if you're supervised by a prof on a topic that the prof has certain expertise on, it's redundant to hire you since you have similar knowledge (possibly to a lesser degree too). My friend in Harvard was lamenting this too. She was advised to do her post-doc elsewhere, then maybe go back to Harvard in future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-58713016259579723862011-06-21T00:34:15.011+08:002011-06-21T00:34:15.011+08:00Look at NTU's President-Designate and Provost,...Look at NTU's President-Designate and Provost, Bertil Andersson.
