Talk:List of Nobel laureates affiliated with the University of Oxford

Einstein and Oxford
Here is an interesting article on this topic: Einstein was not involved in teaching university-level courses or research at Oxford. His three short visits to Oxford in the '30s was more of a recognition than an academic affiliation with Oxford. Thus he may not qualify in the main count. Ber31 (talk) 12:03, 15 October 2020 (UTC)


 * So the two sources state explicitly that his position was a research studentship (fellowship) of five years in Christ Church, with an annual salary (emolument) of £400. The source you found also confirms this. The salary and title already confirms his academic affiliation, which was not just a recognition. It's true that the public lectures were given, but the sources did not deny that he may have done some research there (such as on the unified field theory). In addition, the source you found also says "[t]his arrangement had been proposed by Lindemann, probably in the hope that Einstein would settle in Oxford" and so I believe the position was more like an adjunct professorship rather than an honor. --Minimumbias (talk) 21:04, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
