Other Researcher Interview Reviews for Princeton University
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Princeton University (Princeton, NJ) in Dec 2015
Interview
I met a professor who I had contacted through email in person. We sat down once and chatted about his work. I I was doing research through a program which payed half of my stipend and expected Princeton to pay the other half. Since I came from a pretty prestigious university, it was pretty much assumed that I was qualified for the job. The interview was more of a get to know each other.
