age discrimination for professorships | 4 comments (4 topical, 0 hidden)
[new] agree (none / 0) (#2)

I agree that the article doesn't look at the fact that there probably are other reasons other than just being in an age bracket that on average gets less interviews. Although sometimes outright age discrimination exists, I think if someone were to change career into the math professoriate at a later age then there is no reason success won't be there- one may just need to look into more places. Indeed, building on one's previous background into math may very well offer a stronger candidate for many jobs.
