InterviewI applied through an employee referral I interviewed at University of Texas at Austin (Austin, TX)
This experience was specific to the public health department within the school of ecology. I imagine the process varies by department. From application submission to getting hired, it was a little over a month. It's been a well organized and fast-paced interview process, a welcome change to most interview processes with universities. Standard meeting with current faculty during round 1. Round 2: given about 3 days to prepare a mock lecture of 30 mins. Round 3: writing activity.
