Dear all,

Just to be completely clear for the entire list: Yigal Bronner has clarified that there is no "internal candidate," and that applications are very much welcomed from anyone, anywhere, especially in light of the specific set of skills involved in the project. If you are interested in applying and have concerns about the start date, you can contact Professor Bronner directly.

Thanks Jonathan for raising this concern.

Dear Andrew,and through you to Yigal,
Thank you for this information, but I have a question/concern. Given the *extremely* short deadline, and the fact that the successful candidate is expected to start almost immediately thereafter, does not the Hebrew University think it would only be fair to state clearly and honestly whether in fact they already have an internal candidate for this position?
In fact I think this should be a moral imperative of every job search, but that is besides the point: while putting together an application might be possible so quickly, in a case like this, it is hard to imagine that a person to whom this announcement comes out of blue would be able to pick up and move (during Covid!) on such short notice, and therefore the probability leaps immediately to mind that this is not an entirely open advertisement.
Please advise.
Cordially,
Jonathan Silk
