Hi Dr. Mitchell,

PDRI is looking for people from the intern level on up to Senior Research Scientist level (5-7+ yrs exp) in I-O, and for some of the positions may consider someone with non I-O specific education etc if they have strong project management skills. The positions mainly have to do with developing assessments of various types, although there is other work too. See the posting below from SIOP.

If you have anyone who is interested, have them email Glenda [log in to unmask] with their resume and interest, and make sure to tell her I referred them.

Thanks,

Tim

As soon as I get specifics for the positions, I can send them to you. I agree: UB should take PDRI over!

Things are a little slow at the moment for me, but about to change. I am going to a new client-based office beginning next week. So that should change things up a bit.

Depends upon what job and where. One way to find out may be to post it to iointern….limited folks on there, a number of alum who have been out for a while. I’ll keep a look out.

Going well so far. Plenty to do , but not much time pressure. And certainly will be ready for sabbatical when January rolls around! How are things going there at PDRI now?

Ben Gossard, from UB…grad, who has been at SHA for some time, is going with PDRI. We’ll staff it all by UB grads within another couple of years.

Dr. Mitchell,

Do you know anybody with a few years experience who is looking for a good job or to possibly change jobs?

Other than that, how is your summer going? Are you ready for your sabbatical?

Warm Regards,

Tim
