<p>My son just graduated from a good LAC with a degree in psychology. He is planning to go to graduate school for a Ph.D., but wants to work for a few years first. He has applied for a few positions as research assistant in psychology at some schools and at a psychatric hospital; the leads were provided to him from his former professors. In addition, I've spent hours and hours searching for such jobs on hospital websites.</p>
<p>It truly has taken hours to find a handful of these leads. Does anyone know how to find leads for these positions in a simpler, more efficient way??</p>
<p>I was just wondering if it would be possible for you to help him find some leads through friends/acquaintances who might know some physicians and/or psychiatrists/psychologists in hospital/university labs who might need a research assistant. Also, medical journals frequently have ads for such positions. I would also check the websites of professional psychology or psychiatric organizations, because there might be an online career center.</p>
