Titles of distinction awarded by the University of Oxford

The University of Oxford introduced Titles of Distinction for senior academics in 1996. These are not established chairs, which are posts funded by endowment for academics with a distinguished career in British and European universities. However, since there was a limited number of established chairs in these universities and an abundance of distinguished academics it was decided to introduce these Titles of Distinction. 'Reader' and the senior 'Professor' were conferred annually.
