I say yes, as long as you indicate that you'll be starting in January. My justification is that the deadline for most schools is in January or February, so it would be on your resume if you submitted then

This is a tough one. A CV/Resume is usually a showcase of what one has already accomplished. That said, we do list our completed manuscripts that have not yet been published, not even knowing whether or not they will EVER be published. And, I suppose just landing the job is an accomplishment in and of itself. That said, I could see listing and then attempting to quantify the accomplishment by describing how many people you beat out of the position or something like that. If you don't have that type of information, I would try to just integrate into your PS in a way that highlights your enthusiasm to start this new project because of how it relates to your future career goals, etc....
