Is Andrew Wiles really still teaching at Princeton?

Because a couple of years ago there was talk of him moving to Oxford - and yet, the math department's website lists him as a professor, while Wikipedia says he's in England. It's like, Berkeley lists Smale as emeritus, but I'm pretty sure he's in Japan - but then again, he's emeritus, of course.

Wiles went on leave from Princeton in 2010 to take a position at Oxford as a Royal Society Research Professor. Those appointments generally last ten years. So I guess he'll be back eventually.
