UPDATE (1/19/14): We’ve received more than 500 applications and have narrowed down the applicant pool to less than 10 top tier candidates for each position, and so though we have not filled the positions yet and are not completely closed to new applicants, at this point it’s likely that we already have the candidates we’ve been looking for. We are going to officially stop taking new applications on Friday January 24, 2014.
