Summary
Choosing which programme to apply for may be a very easy decision, or it may be a fiendishly difficult one. The big question, however, is the same: ‘Where is the best place for you to develop as (a) a clinician and (b) an academic?’ Consideration should be given to both factors.
Being able to defend your person–place–project rationale is key to not only deciding which post to choose from, but also to convince the interview panel that you are a perfect fit for the job. In our opinion, this is the most important aspect of your application and you need to get it nailed down. Everyone is in a different situation, so seek some personal advice from your fellow colleagues and mentors who have experience in academic positions.
