  2. "Fribourg, Switzerland" - like all Swiss academic positions at the Assistant Professor level: if you're older than 30, they will not hire.

    1. I agree with you that there seem to be more positions advertised.

      Do you agree with me that, when looking at an overall job market, one should look at supply of potential employees, as well as open positions?
