An update from Professor Jenks (4:24 PM Eastern, 07 October 2019):
Via the comments on the open thread, a comment from William Jenks:
The Chemistry Department at Iowa State University has an opening for an analytical or experimental physical chemist at the assistant professor level. Applications were originally intended to close Sunday night, but software glitches caused problems from at least Friday onward. Those have been addressed and applications will again be accepted through Thursday night Oct 10. The software will close the window at 12:01 Friday morning. We apologize for the inconvenience and are glad to be able to re-open the position for those who were trying to apply. (Contrary to an earlier comment, I do not have access to the names of anyone who had a partial application submitted; such people should also log into the application system again.) https://isu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ IowaStateJobs/job/Ames-IA/ Assistant-Professor_R659
Best wishes to those involved.I am the chemistry chair at ISU. This happened because no one here knew the new software closes at 12:01 AM on a date instead of 11:59 PM. Yes, every single one of us agrees this is stupid. Additionally, there was some kind of partial software problem for Friday and Saturday, too. Anyone with a partial application should hear from us very soon. If you tried to start an application and failed, please send me an email ASAP at wsjenks@iastate.edu. I will try to get you into the pool, but I will have to go through our HR people because only a finite number of people will see this post. But yes, we'd like to get you into the pool if at all possible. Very sorry.
