@graham_knapp@hachyderm.io increasingly hard in Australia - we get a lot of applicants (particularly international) but the vast, vast majority are just fishing and sending applications to every academic listed on the website. At least half the emails I receive spell my name wrong or are addressed to the wrong person. Meanwhile, stipends are horrifically low and so I don't blame local applicants for looking for a real job instead.
