I'm disappointed that there was no deadline presented, jair101's request about what it was went unanswered, and now applications aren't being accepted. I suspect that I'm not the only person who would've worked on putting together a CV over the holidays instead of starting it this past weekend had it been made clear that applications would be closing today. A notification of some kind (announcement, comment, edit within the article...) that there was one day remaining to get applications in would've been helpful compared to just closing applications.
Perhaps you might consider welcoming applications again for a period of, say, two days to give those other people who were taking the same break over the holidays that IPS staff were a chance to apply too. Had we left it too late knowing what the deadline was, then that would be on us, of course, but a total lack of notice does seem unfair, and might have cost IPS some worthwhile candidates. Opening them up again for a short, named period at least means that a failure to submit is clearly the fault of the applicant rather than partially of the firm for not stating it not only in the first place but also when asked subsequently by an interested party.
