You won't get an interview if you don't apply for a position. You can't apply if you don't know about available jobs. Here are some tips about finding open posts.
Word of Mouth
Ask. Someone you know may know about opportunities that aren't advertised or you haven't seen elsewhere. More importantly they may be able to put in a good word for you when you apply.
Attend job searching workshops.
The next one at Bangor is Tuesday 18th November in the 2nd floor graduate hub in Thoday. Email careers@bangor.ac.uk to book a place.
Search on the internet
PhD studentships are usually not listed on websites like Monster and fish4. Instead, try searching these:
http://www.findaphd.com
http://www.jobs.ac.uk/phd
Findaphd and jobs.ac.uk focus on the UK.
PhD funding works differently in America. If you are looking for PhD in the United States, try searching the university websites and read up on the program you are interested in.
http://www.psyccareers.com/ run by the American Psychological Association, has listings for post-PhD jobs in the United States.
Try a directed search
If there is an institution, research group or researcher your are especially interested in look for listings on the institution's web site.
Here are a few. If the one you want isn't on this list try googling the name of the institution and jobs. For example googling "liverpool john moores jobs" returns a list of vacancies at LJMU as the first result.
