What's Vandy's benefit out of this joke? -So, in reality, there are only 3 true postdoc positions at Vandy. Unfortunately we still don't know the names, only that the UCLA guy is in.

^Maybe Vanderbilt benefits because they are one of the best departments in the country, they care about the advancement of the discipline, and they see potential benefits for the discipline by investing in the person who got the three-month post-doc.

A friend of mine overheard on the escalator that the REP guy from UCLA got all three positions.

He should have gotten all four positions though. I hear he felt slighted by that snub.

I overheard that they wanted to give 3 postdocs, so this 4th one isn't taking anything away from anybody. But he's available this summer, so why not?
What's the threshold below which a postdoc is a "joke"? One calendar year? An academic year? One semester? One quarter? One month? Who cares?

So who are the postdocs?
