Interesting - I'll be keeping an eye to see how they do and whether they manage to get a postdoc or not!

I saw this as well and will also be keeping an eye on it, as I am in a similar position (submitting in 2 weeks!)

I'm also applying for research fellowships at the moment and have already been rejected by one; the fact that I only have one small publication (a book review) to my name thus far probably doesn't help. So it will be interesting in particular to see how Mel gets on as our situation seems rather similar (humanities, limited publication record, etc.)
