    Start date is November 6? They already know who they're hiring.

    A 6-day search is warning enough but, a start date six days (including two weekend days), allowing three days for screening, interviewing and selection is downright pathetic. I was going to say laughable but there is nothing funny about sham (rigged?) searches.

    A bunch of well-qualified and experienced ombuds should apply just to make clear the absurdity of this "search."

    Band 06 compensation, at full time (which this is not) minimum $45,530; midpoint $64,885; maximum $84,241. Yet another in the proliferation of performative ombuds-ish roles.
