I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at UC San Diego (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2013
Interview
It was a good and positive experience. Gave a presentation, had a small interview, followed by lunch..... got to interact with my potential colleagues as well. Very competitive environment but I also got to learn a lot.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at UC San Diego
Interview
Contacted a relevant prof, was asked for 1 to 1 interview initially and then a talk to his group. They were doing interesting things, and were curious about my work too. Overall, a great learning experience and motivation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was mostly technical aboit my research on semiconductor materials and devices
In summary hectic! I had to sponsor myself to one of the interview location and met twice virtually afterwards. This might not represent the general view, but there appear to be a bias in the employment process. People from high-ranked schools might have greater chances of being favored.
