IR Deadlines in mid-September

The first set of real deadlines (i.e., those that were not listed as "Until Filled") is coming up soon on September 15th, including Carleton College, the University of Toronto, and two positions at Texas A&M at the Asst. and Assoc. levels. The remainder of the September 15th deadlines were listed as "until filled" at apsanet; see individual job listings in the IR Job List Fall 2006 post for more information. Toronto, as one anonymous commenter notes, "Unlike US schools, we can offer a proper currency and a nationalised health system." See the Toronto post for more information; any rumors about the remainder of the schools with September 15th deadlines? The next set of deadlines is grouped at the end of September/beginning of October. Four recent jobs were posted with the entirely unhelpful "Review of applications will begin immediately" deadline (Three Georgetown positions on International Migration, Geopolitics, and a visiting position in Security Studies as well as one at Francis Marion University, although the first two are senior positions); two other jobs at Columbia, one in IR and the other in IPE, were posted earlier with the same deadline. Since applications for the latter two jobs will be considered through February 1, it's very possible that these are fishing expeditions instead of directed searches. Any information on these?
