“We will keep applications open until at least the end of August 2023”
Is there any advantage to applying early vs in August 2023? I ask as someone intending to do a few months of focused independent MI research. I would prefer to have more experience and sense of my interests before applying, but on the other hand, don’t want to find out mid-August that you’ve filled all the roles and thus it’s actually too late to apply. Thanks.
We will do our best to fairly consider all applications, but realistically there is probably a small advantage to applying earlier. This is simply because there is a limit to how quickly we can grow the organization, so if hiring goes better than expected then it will be longer before we can take on even more people. With that being said, we do not have a fixed number of positions that we are hiring for; rather, we plan to vary the number of hires we make based on the strength of the applications we receive. Moreover, if we were unable to hire someone due to capacity constraints, we would very likely be interested in hiring them at a later date. For these reasons, I think the advantage to applying earlier is a fairly small consideration overall, and it sounds like it would make more sense for you to apply whenever you are comfortable.
