Personnel: Jacob Steinhardt at University of California, Berkeley (Assistant Professor of Statistics)

Verdictoutdated95%
1 check · 4/9/2026

The record claims Jacob Steinhardt is an 'Assistant Professor of Statistics' with a start date of 2019. The source text clearly states he is currently an 'Associate Professor' of Statistics and EECS at UC Berkeley. This represents a promotion from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor. While the 2019 start date as Assistant Professor may have been accurate at that time, the current source reflects an outdated record—his title has since been upgraded to Associate Professor. The organization (UC Berkeley) and department (Statistics) are confirmed, but the role and implied current status are outdated.
