[tips] clinical Ph.Ds?
Our last few clinical hires resulted in some really amazing candidates, all of who accepted our offers. But we are located about 25 mi. west of Philadelphia so we attract candidates who were raised in the area who want to return. We get people coming off post docs internships in area Ph.D. granting universities teaching hospitals (of which there are many), and we get people who want an area where their spouses can find employment whether it be in academia, medicine, business, etc. So as in real estate, I think it's all about l about location, location, location!

Have a question about new clinical Ph.Ds. We have been advertising this year for someone in clinical psych who can come aboard our undergrad program here. It is a teaching/research university but there is not the high pressure that others face for grants and publications. We have had a lot of trouble just getting qualified, new Ph.D. clinical folks to apply and I am wondering if this is peculiar to us or if others have had similar problems. Are new clinical Ph.Ds not interested in academic positions at all these days? Maybe the practice opportunities are much more attractive? We have advertised in the usual places but maybe there other places to put the ad than the chronicle and apa and aps publications? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Our applicants are totally off base (not clinical, etc.) and/or we have fewer new ph.d. clinicians applying. I wish this were an April first joke, but it is just a real challenge in building our program. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

RE:[tips] clinical Ph.Ds?
Yes, we have the same problem. Two failed searches in a row, due to small and inadequate pools. We're a large undergrad program with good resources (lab space, etc.), and we can't get people to apply. Maybe the recent success of our basketball team will help with our next search.

RE:[tips] clinical Ph.Ds?
The last search we did (last year) for a clinical/counseling PhD netted us two viable candidates. Luckily one of them was good. Right now I'm running a search in exercise science (looking for an ex phys person) and we have a woefully small pool. OTOH, our searches in math, sports administration, and international studies all have large and healthy pools. I don't know what's going on, but it sure makes me hate being chair of this department... m -- Marc Carter, PhD Associate Professor of Psychology Chair, Department of Behavioral and Health Sciences College of Arts Sciences Baker University -- -Original Message- From: Bourgeois, Dr. Martin [mailto:mbour...@fgcu.edu] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2013 5:44 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: RE:[tips] clinical Ph.Ds?
