Well ok, if you count a research plan for a grant , I agree.
But I would see a grant application as separate from the job application, even though jobs then can be conditional on the grant.
I’ve at least never encountered an academic job, where there was only a grant application, and not also the standard job application process.
I got a professor interested in me (through being second place in an interview, fml), he had no funding for me, so there was no job, only a grant application. (Actually the grant applications and only one went through)
