2018-2019 Postdoc Interview Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Has anyone heard from Columbia University Medical Center (Outpatient midtown office) or New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell (Westchester)?

Members don't see this ad.
 
Anyone hear from SF VA about the Psychosocial Rehabilitation track or Long Beach VA about the Psychosocial Recovery for SMI track?
 
Given the last three posts, looks like many of us are anxiously awaiting news!

Anyone else expecting notifications today? I don't have a great reason to think this, but I suspect that today may be a big day for notifications...?

I am still waiting to hear back from 7 sites and it’s almost the end of the day and I have not heard from a single site yet.
 
VA Long Beach Psychosocial Rehabilitation track, personal email 1/12. Interview dates: 1/31, 2/2, 2/5, 2/7

Has anyone heard anything through the grapevine about Nemours/A.I.DuPont in Delaware? On their website it says that invitations to interview would be extended by 12/22 but I haven't heard either way and they aren't showing up here.
I heard from them late in the day on 12/22 with an interview offer for the neuro track at INS.

The wait is particularly painful today... I was really banking on more notifications (one way or another) by end of day. :dead:

And now we probably won’t hear anything until Tuesday.
 
Unless we all die before then, yes... this seems like a distinct possibility. I found it odd that some sites (mostly on universal list) had Monday as due date for apps. And most Kaisers had today.... who is spending a holiday or holiday weekend looking at apps????!

Seriously can't believe I didn't hear from a single site today. Waiting on 4 and some of them were due a month ago. Why are they doing this to us??

I hate the scheduling part! I heard from one site and want to schedule my interview, but have not heard from a site near it and would prefer to only fly to Chicago once

I haven't heard back from them yet, despite applying over a month ago. Today is their "official" application due date though.

Did everyone see this?

APPIC is pleased to share the following announcement from the VA Psychology Training Council:

"The VA Psychology Training Council is excited to update all intern and postdoctoral resident applicants about an exciting bit of news. We were recently informed that all VA paid psychology trainees (interns and postdoctoral residents) are being provided with an 8% increase in their stipend for the 2018-2019 training year. This increase will go into effect on July 1, 2018 across all VA psychology training programs."

Seems like a pretty big bump to me! And it makes the prospect of postdocing (totally a verb) in the bay area seem slightly more manageable.
 
Same for me, but to be honest I am much more at ease than I was during the internship process. I know I won't hear for a few weeks so I am just enjoying a post-doc free holiday!

In December, I was at ease. Now it is mid-January and I am back to being anxious and it seems like I am not alone based on the recent posts in this thread.

I wonder if this means current interns will get a few extra bucks towards the end?

You are definitely not alone @mishpug !!

I was under the impression that it would only apply to the 2018-2019 training year, although an increase in my current stipend starting in July would be awesome. I'll check with my internship TD.

Urgh, my training year ends the first week of July... maybe I will get the slightest of bumps for the last pay check. Good news for post-doc, though!

Based on last year's thread: 2017-18 Post-Doc Interview Thread

I don't expect to hear anything till this Friday at the earliest for college counseling centers. But of course that doesn't change the fact that I will continually check this page.

McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School
Acute Adolescent Residential Treatment Program
Invite received via email 1/15/18
No specific interview dates given; sounds like it is flexible depending on my availability to travel, which is quite nice!

Also, heard from UCLA TIES on 12/21/17 via email; interviewed on 1/12/18 but many interview dates were offered over mid-January to early February.

It was a personalized email so it is possible they are still extending invites.
