I’m a PhD student in the psychology department at the University of California, Riverside, and I'm conducting a paid study with PhD students on the job market this academic year (2016-17). Anyone over the age of 18 and on the job market this academic year is eligible to participate. Your advisor (typically your dissertation chair, but whoever you consider your primary advisor/mentor) will also be invited to participate in the study if you decide to participate.

If you would like to participate in this study or would like more information, simply fill out the brief form available at this link:

Were you on the job market this past 2015-2016 academic year? I want to learn about the role your faculty advisor played in your efforts to secure a position, with the ultimate goal of improving this stressful experience for others down the line.  If you are a PhD student or postdoc who was on the job market during the 2015-2016 academic year and had an official faculty advisor for the duration of your doctoral training, then you are eligible to participate! Participants will be entered into a raffle for one of five $100 Amazon Gift Cards. If you want to participate, click the link below to complete a 15-20 minute online survey about your experiences on the job market. Your responses will be anonymous, and the information you provide will inform research-based interventions to promote the well-being of individuals going through this experience. Please feel free to forward this post to anyone who is eligible to participate!  http://ucriverside.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6FlyALn6JGsPULb
