While doctoral students are regularly instructed about the process of preparing a strong CV, writing an excellent thesis and publishing in good journals the application and interview process for that first, long-term (or even permanent) teaching + research post is often daunting. In his experience as Head of Department for ~8 years at two different Universities, Robin has interviewed candidates applying to many different Departments. In this talk he will discuss the range of academic opportunities open to potential PhD students - many of which are not in Psychology departments - and consider some tips for the application letter, preparing an interview presentation, the interview, and how to negotiate with Department Heads and make best use of interview feedback.
