Welcome back, our lovely blog-enthusiasts. I just wanted to fill you in on the results on my adventures in interviewing for a post-doc position. As many of you probably know by now, I was offered (and accepted) a fellowship at The Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt, which is a psychiatric hospital in Baltimore. No, I did not have to pack heat for the interview, and they have secured parking! Th decision was an extremely difficult one for Justin and I due to all kinds of different complicating factors, but we ultimately decided that The CED @ SP (I love acronyms!) had the coolest facebook page of any of the sites I interviewed at, so we couldn't turn it down. While that wasn't really the deciding factor, you really can check it out on facebook and their website is pretty cool too, with a virtual tour and blog and everything! Progressive for a psych hospital, huh? Check it out here! So next year I'll be working with individuals with eating disorders in the inpatient and partial hospitalization programs, supervising students (Ahhhhhh!!!!), doing some assessment, and hopefully some research as well. Pretty exciting stuff. We'll also be working on figuring out how to get closer to home in the future, though we're happy to decrease our distance by two hours this time! Eight hours is totally do-able..... Anyway, our next step is to find Justin a job in the Baltimore vicinity. So more adventures in interviewing to come!
As a bonus, I'm including some photos I took while on my interviewing travels. Thanks for all your support during this process!
