continental divide.

this is mildly frustrating. there have been a few recent job announcements at several european institutions, and their deadlines are in late january to mid-february. i imagine that hiring decisions are made in early march.

as established by the AMS, the uniform response deadline is 11 february.

never mind the fact that the best and brightest in europe are going after these jobs, and a silly american like me will probably have no chance -- these are very tempting places.

but say i'm lucky and am offered a job in the states, around the time of the uniform deadline. if the european schools aren't sorted out yet, how do you play that waiting game?

bah. i should be so lucky, to worry about what to do with a job offer!
