The process was easy and smooth. The interviewer made me feel at ease. It was one of the most fun days since most of the conversation revolved around my career, lab expectations, and things that I could do for fun in and out of town.

We had a phone call where we discussed my experience and I answered some questions. Then, I had to write a job description, post a job, schedule interviews, conduct preliminary interviews, conduct in-person interviews, follow up with candidates, and finally make a hire.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
First, you gotta send in your grad school application. Then, try to connect with professors you'd want to work with as an advisor. If that goes well, you'll have a virtual chat with a potential advisor. If the interview is successful, you might get an RA or TA offer. Getting a GA position with your admission offer is pretty rare, though. Usually, it's about 30% funding at the start, and then you need to find an advisor to fully fund you.
Confirmed questions1 question
- What are your plans after graduation?
