> A couple of questions -- what do you mean by "theories classes"?
At some schools courses like history & systems, personality, and motivation fall under a category of 'theory' I guess because they can be taught around an organizational scheme of theoretical models rather than some type of applications.... > "clinical folks with a bio background"? I guess I'm thinking about two potential categories of individuals: one would be the clinical people taking a health psych path--and that often involves a lot of biopsych background; that type of background would fit well with the needs of a small department because the person could cover a lot of ground. Another possibility I'm thinking about is a person who might have some psychopharmacology and biopsych in their background--with some psychologists preparing for prescription writing priviledges I have heard (I could be wrong) that programs are offering more basic background education in such areas. So a search could emphasize those areas. I have a good sense that many younger folks are broadening their backgrounds, perhaps to make themselves more marketable in a tight job market. Many young grads are taking temporary/visiting positions as replacements for profs on sabbatical or leave; or they are taking a post-doc to tide them over and to add depth to their backgrounds. I think you will readily find someone with a varied background these days is not too difficult to find. good luck! I look forward to seeing more perspectives.
