Temple is a nice place to work. Like most academic institutions it can be slow with low turnover. The interview consisted of basic questions. Strengths, Weaknesses, what I can bring to the table etc.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 months)
2 rounds of interviews. First with the hiring manager and then a second round w/ senior VP and panel interview with a group of peers to the position.
All the interviews were fairly typical and straight forward. Review all the traditional interview questions and you should be fine.
One point of advice - Confirm whether or not they've completed their review of internal candidates. After 2 rounds of interviews eventually meeting with a Sr VP it was a bit frustrating to hear you didn't get the job because they decided to use the opening as a promotional opportunity for an internal employee. nothing against promoting existing employees, but why bring in external candidates and waste several months of their time if you feel you alrady have the skills needed internally.
