Hello everyone,
Some background first: I am undergraduate going through the graduate school application process. I would ideally like to obtain a PhD in clinical psychology (with an emphasis in clinical neuropsychology) and then pursue a faculty position in clinical neuropsychology. I have been fortunate enough to obtain 2 interviews with PhD programs (Iowa and Florida if it helps). Each has a neuropsychology specialty track and faculty with clinical np research interests. However, one is a clinical science program that emphasizes research while the other is an equal emphasis program. As I mentioned previously, my ideal career would be one in which I could conduct neuropsychological research (in a university-hospital or otherwise).
I have to neuropsych career questions at the moment:
(1) What is the outlook for faculty positions (i.e. job openings and salaries) in clinical neuropsychology compared to a more clinically focused career in clinical neuropsychology (e.g. in a hospital setting)?
(2) Would a clinical science program benefit me significantly more than an equal emphasis program in pursuing my goals? If so, how?
Thank you for any advice!
