Just a comment on the job posting:

It's nice and reads like you want an experienced person.  Great!  But then the final sentence says it's a two-year term position.  There is no mention of "with possibility of extension subject to blah blah".  Maybe there is no long term perspective (really?) but if there is then I think it should be explicitly mentioned in the posting.  Asking a first post-doc to relocate for a two year position is maybe fine, asking someone with more experience (and more concerns, maybe a partner, a family)... less obvious, and potentially more of an issue for women than men if we want to consider our approach to diversity.

P.S.  I would have ignored this posting based on that statement, others may contact us... except there is no contact name let alone an email address in the job posting.
