Anyone besides me think that someone is studying the genetics of aging assistant professors, at least at first?

at my last job, the other 2 assistant professors were both over 50. so it seems a legitimate topic to study, though so narrow to see in a title of a position that one would assume they were tailoring the search to make an inside hire...
