[Small rant]
Five references with mailing addresses?
Three custom letters of reference for this job?
That seems a lot for first round of applications. And, given the nomadic nature of our profession - I am lucky I have email addresses for the people I work with. And, I think I would want to get through the first round of interviews - where I could learn more about the job, pay grade, extra duties, etc, etc, before I went to three colleagues and asked them to write a letter of reference specifically for the job.

Sadly, there is no version of my life in the next ninth months that would make me available to start 8/15. But, I would love to apply. I really would love to apply.
