For clarity:
We will be opening the website for reading only on Thursday 24th October 2013. The website will be open for applications on Tuesday 11th November and it will close for applications at 23:59 on 26th November 2013. Please note if we receive an overwhelming number of applications we reserve the right to close the application window early. If we have to do this, however, we will make it clear on this page that we’re taken that step and will email everyone who has started an application to give them 48 hours’ notice of applications closing.
That's quite a short application window.
