  • El puesto conocido como profesor Saviliano de astronomía o cátedra Saviliana de astronomía se estableció en la Universidad de Oxford en 1619, al mismo tiempo que la cátedra Saviliana de geometría. Fue fundada por sir Henry Savile, un matemático y erudito clásico que fue alcaide (warden) del Merton College y rector del Eton College, reaccionando a lo que ha sido descrito como «el miserable estado de los estudios matemáticos en Inglaterra» en ese momento.​ John Bainbridge fue el primer profesor nombrado para la cátedra. Hasta el momento, han sido designados en total 21 profesores Savilianos de astronomía, siendo el más reciente , designado en 2012. Las dos cátedras Savilianas están vinculadas a membresías en el New College de Oxford desde finales del siglo XIX. (es)

He appointed John Bainbridge as the first professor, who took up his duties in 1620 or 1621. There have been 21 astronomy professors in all; Steven Balbus, the professor as of 2020, was appointed in 2012. Past professors include Christopher Wren (1661–73), architect of St Paul's Cathedral in London and the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford; he held the professorship at the time of his commission to rebuild the cathedral after it was destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666. Three professors have been awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society: Charles Pritchard (1870–93), Harry Plaskett (1932–60) and Joseph Silk (1999–2012). The two Savilian chairs have been linked with professorial fellowships at New College, Oxford, since the late 19th century. In the past, some of the professors were provided with an official residence, either near New College or at the Radcliffe Observatory, although this practice ended in the 19th century. The astronomy professor is a member of the Sub-Department of Astrophysics at Oxford. (en)
