> 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.
