Announcement: There is a new accord on the earliest possible deadline for postdoc offers in HEP theory. For signatories of the accord, in the current 2024 cycle, the earliest deadline is thus February 15, 2024.
For context, please see the new accord webpage and the corresponding arXiv reference [2307.02683]. The accord has been ratified with 181 theory groups worldwide and also 85% of the original institutions from the preceding accord (as of September 30, 2023). Also note that the 2024 cycle is the first postdoc hiring season to implement the new accord. On the other hand, note that a number of institutions have not signed the accord and will issue offers with deadlines earlier than February 15. A substantial number of institutions that have not signed the February 15 accord have informally agreed that for this year no offers will be made with deadlines before January 16, 2024.
