Postdoc Interview Invitation Thread 2022-2023/2024

Members don't see this ad.

Is this process really slow or just not many people in this thread compared to the internship one?

Fewer people and postdocs have a much wider timeline as there is a mix of several matches and places that do not participate in matches.

Was it a mass generic email sent out at once?

No, my friend got an invite an hour or so after me. Seems like the preceptor offered my friend the time slots that I didn’t take.

Was it for the same track?

Has anyone heard from the West Haven MIRECC? Their app deadline was 12/1. I am assuming interview invites were sent out.

I haven't heard from them yet either. One of the PI's did tell me that it appears to be a "very competitive" applicant pool this year. Judging by past years, it seems like they are a bit variable on timing. Though they may have been sent out already.

Insight on appropriateness to follow-up with sites if application deadlines were 3-4 weeks ago?

 

[PsyStudent24]

So if we don’t hear from sites within 2-3 weeks of deadline, does it mean that we will be rejected?

Rejection from the Cincinnati VA 🙁 I can’t stop crying.

I'm so sorry... this process sometimes feels so subjective and random. I matched to one of my lowest ranked options for internship and I cried for days. You've got this!

The application deadline was January 1st, so it was disheartening to receive a rejection so quickly.
