Is there any cost to emailing and asking?
Postdoc Updates
-
Some context for the UK. The quoted starting salaries of 37k are really entry level, aimed at people who are just finishing a PhD. Realistically those who have done a Postdoc or similar would expect 45k+. Which isn't high, but in most cities you'll have a really good living standard. You'd expect to be on 55k or more after promotion to associate (which would likely be after 3 years).
Oxford salaries are junk at the lower levels but for associates are substantially higher than most other universities both in cash terms and all the benefits (often housing, food, loans, college stipends on top of department salary).

When does csdp usually get announced?
February.
Might be later than usual this year for a variety of reasons.
Why?Staffing changes on the admin side of CSDP have caused some delay in review of applications. I don’t know if that’s the reason nobody seems to have heard from CSDP so far, or if there’s another reason.
