well, if zhang enjoys teaching / interacting with students, he might not
like ias.
See below quote from somebody:
"
When I was at Princeton in the 1940s I could see what happened to those
great minds at the Institute for Advanced Study, who had been specially
selected for their tremendous brains and were now given this opportunity to
sit in this lovely house by the woods there, with no classes to teach, with
no obligations whatsoever. These poor bastards could now sit and think
clearly all by themselves, OK? So they don't get any ideas for a while: They
have every opportunity to do something, and they are not getting any ideas.
I believe that in a situation like this a kind of guilt or depression worms
inside of you, and you begin to worry about not getting any ideas. And
nothing happens. Still no ideas come.

发帖数: 1834 | 8 Here are some words from Milnor comparing Princeton and IAS.
R & S: You started your career at Princeton Uni-
versity and you were on the staff for many years.
After some intermediate stages in Los Angeles and
at MIT, you went back to Princeton but now to the
Institute for Advanced Study. Can you compare
the Institute and the university and the connections
between them?
Milnor: They are alike in some ways. They have
close connections; people go back and forth all the
time. The big difference is that at the university
you have continual contact with students, both in
teaching and with the graduate students, and there
is a fair amount of continuity since the students
stay around, at least for a few years. The Institute
is much more peaceful, with more opportunity for
work and more idyllic circumstances, but there is a
continually rotating population, so almost before
you get to know people, the year is over and they
move on. So it’s unsatisfactory in that way. But
they are both wonderful institutions and I was
very happy at both.
R & S: In the late 1980s you left for Stony Brook,
to the State University of New York, where you got
in contact with students again, as an academic
teacher.
Milnor: Yes, that was certainly one strong mo-
tivation. I felt that the Institute was a wonderful
place to spend some years, but for me it was, per-
haps, not a good place to spend my life. I was too
isolated, in a way. I think the contact with young
people and students and having more continuity
was important to me, so I was happy to find a good
position in Stony Brook
