A few points about this American politics job posting on the APSA website:

1. We are a PhD granting department (the APSA website lists us as MA).
2. We negotiated this line well in advance of current fiscal situation and
have full expectations we will hire for it.
3. We will likely continue to review applications after the deadline, but
don't wait too long.
4. We're looking for a well-trained methods person with a substantive
interest in legislative or executive politics. Washington, DC is a great
location for those studying national institutions, but we are open to
someone with an interest in state institutions, too.
