We're hiring! Looking for a postdoc to work at UNSW Sydney, studying impacts of reward and information on attention, using eye-tracking, EEG, and modelling - with Kelly Garner, Daniel Pearson and me. Application link below, please spread the word!

Yep, I am happy to write references (for example for promotion), and I happy to do as part of the job; but this particular institution has an external assessment procedure for promotion that is more arduous than i've seen in other places, so paying people (as they used to do) was appropriate.
Me: Wow, even more documents and forms, thanks. And a reminder of a short deadline. So, again, will you be paying me?
A.N. Other University: Sadly we no longer pay assessors for their time.
Me: No need to be sad, I just won't be doing it. All the best, Mark.
A.N. Other University: Please could serve as an assessor for these promotion applications?
Me: Sure, will you be paying me like you did previously?
...1 week later...
Me: Thanks for all the documents and forms. So, will you be paying me? That will help me start reading.
...another week later...
Exactly! And reading pages and pages of promotion application material and filling out forms is definitely not a hobby!

New preprint with Chris Nolan and Kelly Garner in which we develop a new metric - transition entropy - that can be used to measure the extent to which behaviour in cognitive tasks is based on a routine.

Oracle-based integrated finance and HR systems.
Nobody knows how much money they have, and the last time I checked there was a 6 month lag on HR queries.
And... with the added delusional idiocy of buying said software when it has famously caused chaos at other universities.
Ditto university software...
