I wanted to confirm that the closing date for applications is Oct 18. I've been perusing apps as they've come in, but will officially be reviewing them once the submission period is closed. In spite of the number of apps I'm hoping to have some first round interviews in early November.

Needless to say it's a tough competition and I wish I could hire a whole team of folks. I really appreciate everyone's time and energy put in to applying. I'm committed to sending a decision email to every applicant so they know the final outcome either way. Thank you again everyone!
