[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My academic job search was also constrained by my husband's pediatric specialty job, which means that we needed to look in cities with children's hospitals (or within a reasonable commuting distance).

I'm surprised you guys haven't had a frank discussion about this yet--this needs to happen so you're both on the same page re: where he applies.[/quote]

We have had many conversations about this and that's why it's so frustrating. He keeps flip flopping about what he wants. His friend recently accepted a 100k assistant professor position in Tennessee. He's been looking for similar jobs ever since he found about his friends position. [/quote]

Where in Tennessee?  You could definitely work in Nashville (Vanderbilt University Children's Hospital??), which is actually pretty diverse and a great city.

Ditto Georgia, frankly.[/quote]

Memphis Tennessee could work.  I need to work at a children's research hospital focused on children's catastrophic diseases. I am NOT nurse. I know this all sounds strange but my field is truly very very specialized. There are only 10 or so universities with this degree in the US. [/quote]

OP, out of curiosity, what counts as a catastrophic disease for children? I looked it up and found a lot of state-level funds to help pay for expenses associated with catastrophic diseases, but no list as to what they are.[/quote]

My job title is child life specialist. There are usually 15 to 30 jobs posted. [b]To find a job in child life, many of my co workers have had to relocate to a different state.[/b][b]

Cerebral palsy
Sickle cell anemia
Cystic fibrosis
Cancer
AIDS
Epilepsy
Spina bifida
Congenital heart problems[/quote]

The irony here is palpable. [/quote]

By co workers I meant the interns. In childlife we have to do a year long internship. Many of the interns have had to move to find jobs. [/quote]
