Hi everyone, I'm Adam (the current fellow at Cincinnati). I want to share some additional information about the program. Also, please do not hesitate to send me any questions (adam.schumaier@uc.edu)
This is a fully established research position that has successfully matched re-applicants for 9 years in a row. You will learn to be a self-sufficient researcher, which is a great opportunity that you can really take advantage of. I began work here last may and so far have 10 peer-reviewed publications, 1 grant, and 4 book chapters with many more manuscripts that are still under review / planned (this is not including abstracts, presentations, etc.).
The pay is very reasonable (around $45,000 for the year w/ full benefits), and there are opportunities to present and attend meetings throughout the year. The mentorship is excellent, and you have the opportunity to work one-on-one with the faculty. The department is involved in several multi-center trials and study groups which provides a great way to network.
The number of interviews after reapplication has been highly variable, ranging from 6 to 40+. The average is probably around 15-20, but you should expect to get more interviews than you did during the first application cycle.
Also, Cincinnati is a great city to be in. Living downtown is very affordable. Many of us are within blocks of each other, and there is plenty to do (concerts, restaurants, bars, parks, etc.). Again, please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
