This institution has indicated that the position advertised will not follow the APA's recommended job market calendar. An explanation, if provided, appears below.
We were delayed getting internal approvals so the ad is being placed later than expected. We don't do first round interviews and need the early fullest consideration deadline to allow time to narrow down the applicant pool to those we wish to invite to campus before the holiday break. |
