 * Also posted at Comparative 2018
 * In this post, the date given is "30 October"; on the application page, they say "23 October." And in their original Job Information List ad, they gave no date at all (if I remember correctly). So I'm really confused about this position.... when exactly did the search committee move towards review, and how is a candidate supposed to plan their submission? Seems like they want some to fall through the cracks.
