Yes, the site is, to be politic, awkward (imagine the interface for us to
look at submitted applications).  For what it's worth, I was just now able
to create an account in Safari, without any confirmation emails, by clicking
the "Join Today" link on the "external candidates" section.

However, one can "Visit as a Guest" and look at the application -- the
button is in the lower right portion of the main page at
http://www.umich.edu/~jobs/ and then go to "detailed search" and put 7935 in
the Job ID field.

If worse comes to worse, though, just send your application to me and I'll
pass it along to HR.

Sorry about the confusing site...

Regards,
Ken
