To explore factors influencing academic job seekers, the author surveyed 49 applicants for six regular faculty positions at a university and Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center in Oregon. Candidates used active inquiry (40.0%) and advertisements (35.6%) as their pri-mary search methods, applied for an average of 6.75 jobs, expected the search to take 73 months, and confined their search to specific geographical areas (75.5%). In rank order, location, academic position, teaching opportunities, and research opportunities were the most appealing factors; VA hospital setting, fringe benefits, and administrative opportu-nities had the least appeal. Most applicants were moderately satisfied with current jobs and even more satisfied with psychiatry as a career. Related studies are discussed. Three of the six positions were not filled; the author discusses barriers to successfully recruiting academic psychiatrists.
为了探究影响学术求职者的因素，作者调查了俄勒冈州一所大学和退伍军人事务部（VA）医疗中心的六个常规教师职位的 49 名申请者。候选人将主动查询（40.0%）和广告（35.6%）作为主要搜索方法，平均申请 6.75 个职位，预计搜索时间为 73 个月，并将搜索范围限制在特定的地理区域（75.5%）。按顺序排列，地点、学术职位、教学机会和研究机会是最吸引人的因素；VA 医院环境、福利和行政机会吸引力最小。大多数申请人对目前的工作较为满意，对精神病学作为职业更为满意。相关研究也有讨论。六个职位中有三个空缺；作者讨论了成功招聘学术精神病学家的障碍。
