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.

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. Gerald L.
