Where are the jobs? Where are areas of shortage? What can enhance my application to a graduate program? While many students imagine a career in private practice as a Clinical Psychologist this is only a small segment of the market.
Interested in helping children as a School Psychologist? Have you pictured working as a Forensic Psychologist? Is an M.A. adequate or is a Ph.D. or Psy.D. necessary? Is a state license or certification required? Unfortunately, many students lack a full appreciation for the details impacting post-degree employment. This presentation explores these dynamics with ample opportunity for a question and answer
dialogue.

Pursuing a career as a university professor is both alluring and daunting. From the outside, an academic life appears enviable. Still, many undergraduates, graduate students, and new faculty are often unaware of key facets to secure and sustain an academic career. Is scholarship necessary? How does one develop their research?
What constitutes academic service? What do universities seek in applicants? Fundamentally, while many universities offer tenure track positions others advertise contract posts. How do these compare? How does one successfully pursue an academic appointment? Does “academic pedigree” impact employability? Can a Psy.D. pursue a career as an academic or is a Ph.D. preferable?
Drawing on work chairing multiple faculty searches, this presentation explores the academic landscape while offering opportunities for discussion.
