Postdoc Invitation Thread (2021-2022)

[anonymousrae]

Has anyone heard from UMich/VA Ann Arbor Consortium for postdoc positions? I applied to specifically to the VA for women's health and SUD. That was my earliest due application, but I haven't heard from them yet. Wondering if anyone who applied to them has heard (or knows of anyone who has heard)? Thanks!

Yes, received an email last week saying they'd be contacting shortly after the new year to schedule the interview.

Twins! I also really wanted this opportunity and it was the only site I found with a gender clinic for kids.

If you are open to the West Coast, there is an LGBTQ clinic at Nathan Family Resilience Center within UCLA- they began accepting applications on Dec 14th and accept on a rolling basis so there is still time to apply!

Method of Invitation (Phone call, personal/mass email, Snapchat): I sent them an email asking for an update, and was told I was not selected for an interview

If & How you're staying sane: I feel very sad. Trying to watch my shows on Netflix to stay sane

I know you were really eager to hear back from this one. This says nothing about you as a clinician- there are so many factors out of our hands that we will never know about that play into these decisions (for example, maybe this year they needed someone who was more into assessment than intervention or vice versa, maybe they've noticed a particular clt need rising and someone else specializes in it, etc). You've got this!

Anyone else waiting on this one? I am scared to check in as I'm fairly certain it's a rejection at this point! Why they gotta make US reach out to get rejected? 😢

 

[shayf1089]

I emailed a few weeks ago and I got an automatic reply that the post doc coordinator is out of town until Wednesday. I also heard from a neuro person that extended their deadline so they are just all over the place.

Well that does ease my mind quite a bit then! Thanks

Sadly, while I am not opposed to the west coast, Cali specifically does not work for my husband's job. Thank you for the suggestion though!!!

Did you email them to receive this info?

 

[anonymousrae]

Did you email them to receive this info?

Nope! I just received an email from the VA postdoc program director (I think it may have been a mass email, but not entirely sure). I wonder if people who listed U-M as their preference have not yet been contacted? (not sure that applies to you, but thought I'd throw it out there)

[psychedaboutpsych123]

My sites have been slow to respond and the only two I've heard back from have been rejections... Not feeling great for a process that's supposed to be more of a confidence boost than internship. I can't wait to get to a point in our careers where we're not constantly being demoralized.

Anyone else feeling a little dejected?

I have noticed that sites have been slow to respond, too. I am trying to tell myself it is a pandemic related delay. I am also very jaded with the process and can't wait to be done with this!
