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
