In case you are interested in going down under to one of Australia's top universities.
Title in the ad says "lecturer" but please note that this is not the same as in the US, it means the same thing as tenure track assistant professor. You are likely to do better at this if you have 1) PhD in hand or defense scheduled ASAP and 2) make sure to clearly and concisely answer all position selection criteria points, perhaps going so far as to include a table at the end of your cover letter. (Similarities to UK application process here.)
Area looks to be open, so I'd have to say to go for it everyone, even theorists.
If one wanted advice about such a position, they might theoretically find faculty members there with US PhDs who could speak to your specific questions about the Australian context.
