Well, here's the confirmation email from one of the last faculty applications I'm sending out this year. I don't know if they actually want a second "string theorist with a recent Ph.D. from the University of Chicago", but it can't hurt to ask. I've applied for quite a few other good positions as well, and I've been offered the option of staying here at Joint Science for another year if I'm not happy with any of the offers I get this spring, so I'm optimistic no matter what happens. But yeah, this one would be awesome^TM.

Dear Steuard,

We have received your application for a position in the physics department at Harvey Mudd College. After members of the department have had a chance to go through the applications, I will notify you as to where your application stands.

All applicants will be notified when the position has been filled.

Thank you for your interest in Harvey Mudd College.

*g* Well, at least said second string theorist would have a BS from a reasonably adequate institution.

Who's retiring?

(Oh, and congrats on the Joint Science extension. It's nice to be at liberty to turn things down if you hate them. :)

Petersen.

We heard that he was retiring about a month before they advertised the position, so we figured that they would specifically be looking for a biophysicist to replace him. We were pleasantly surprised when the ad said that the position is open to all specialties.
