 * Guys, this was listed here as due Nov. 30, but someone on the Restoration/18th c. Wiki points out that all the ads (including the one on the university website) have it due Nov. 1. Application is still up, so I'm applying late.
 * Thank you for the update.  This is the second time that I have seen this happen this year.  So frustrating!
 * Totally frustrating. And you know, I just noticed that the date in the, surely cut and pasted, job advertisement was wrong too--seems like someone may have pasted and then deliberately changed the date. I hope not. But not sure how this particular mistake happened.
