SEED generally receives over half of its applications during this last 24 hours before
the deadline so these patterns may or may not be representative of the eventual
totals. All applications are due today, 1 June, by midnight, Pacific time (in about
15 hours). All
additional materials (resumes, letters of recommendation, etc.) from applicants who
made today’s deadline are due 8 June. The Selection Committees meet 13 June.
The Recent Hire term runs September 2007-September 2008. The Established Staff
term runs September 2007-March 2008. We plan to select about 80 participants, divided
roughly evenly between Recent Hires and Established Staff.
