Likely it's because the funding source is uncertain so, even though there is a clear plan for how to continue the job, legally in the ad they can only post for what they have firm funding for. If you applied and got an interview it would be a great interview question... i.e, this year the Disabled Students Office is staffed on a special grant from helpful fund and next year they have applied for 6 of these and one always comes through, but.... <br /><br />Also I think people generally suck at writing job ads unless that's their job. So they either barely describe the job or over describe every detail and if it sounds generally like something you could do/would like to do it's worth at least putting in an application and finding out more.
