When Cambridge University interviewed Jason Arday for one of the most prestigious sociology positions in the world, he was an early career scholar and underqualified, by the school’s own standards.
Cambridge’s requirements, reviewed by The New York Times, called for “an outstanding research record of international stature” and a “proven successful track record” supervising Ph.D. students. Dr. Arday had a modest publication record and had bounced from one university to the next — not staying long enough to oversee a full three-year-or-more doctorate.
Cambridge hired him anyway in 2023, making him, at 37, the university’s youngest Black professor at a time when the school was under pressure to diversify. In doing so, Cambridge thrust him into the international limelight, giving him a platform at one of the world’s elite universities to champion academic diversity and making him a target for critics.
Dr. Arday was found dead in London on Friday, days after resigning from his jobamid accusations that he had plagiarized chunks of his papers, embellished parts of his recently published memoir and fabricated aspects of his life story. The controversy exploded along cultural fault lines — race, neurodiversity and academic hiring.

The left for hiring someone who was not suitable, just to quickly meet DEI targets. Then ignoring the criticism and accusing his critics of being racist. Then disowning and condemning him once it was found that the criticisms have merit.
The right for shifting from objective criticism to mockery and ridicule, branding him as a woke DEI hire. Such things can bring shame and affect a person’s mental health.
I know people might say that I’m asking for too much or expecting a perfect scenario, but if you could also suggest teams with a good work environment and strong mentorship, I would be really grateful. Specifically, I’m looking for opportunities in Delhi.

As someone who has gone through this exact same thing, once you put your mind to it, this entire process is not going to take more than six months. You'll stop making mistakes, your drafts will improve, and you will eventually become the senior dealing with people making mistakes, so don't stress it.

Oh man, these humanities paglus who insist that humanities are as important as STEM crack me up!
“The test-blind policy was a well-intentioned experiment,” she wrote, “but the reality in our classrooms shows that it has failed.” Admitting students who are unprepared, she warned, “sets them up for discouraging struggle. … We cannot afford another cycle of administrative delay.”

So this brings us back to the universal debate that is waging both in India and the US: are we seriously compromising on merit if we admit people solely because they are from a lower social or economic background?
It’s also interesting that these policies are followed in the US, UK and India, but perhaps not in the EU and definitely not in countries like China, Japan, Korea. What explains this? Is it populist vote seeking that prompts these policies without much thought?
I mean the entire premise is if you want to get a job, you either go to the best universities or work for long enough that your ability and CV speak for itself, that is how it works all over the world, people at hofstra get into tier 1 finance entities due to proximity, guys from harvard do cause of their brand, do you hear about guys from university of arkansas becomming a ceo of a fortune 500 company? No right, because you have one of two routes in the world.
Expectating the best of both is ridiculous and if you didnt have either by going to a no name college is a tier 3/4 city you anyway were never contending for t1 jobs ( it should not be this way in an ideal world because there very well could be exceptional people anywhere, but that is just how the market works)

Is there any other way to apply?
Anyone here knows what is going on?
Is this just normal attrition or has something happened internally? Seems a bit unusual for so many people to leave around the same time.
Would be interested to hear from anyone currently at Lexygen or anyone who has recently left.
Also is there any other recourse? Please advise.
