Presentation Behavioral Technical
The interview process included a pre-screener via zoom, followed by a panel interview with 4 people. I received the confirmation for my interview with less than 12 hours notice, and it required a 10-minute presentation. I had to do the panel interview twice, and the whole process took 3 months. Some candidates needed writing samples or had to write narrative briefs with data analysis of an incomplete dataset. Rejection came via an automated email. The process has improved, but for the pay, the rigor is too much. Applicants deserve more notice for requirements, especially since it's not a tenure-track position. The whole thing felt hectic and disrespectful of our time.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
It started with a 20-minute phone screening that felt like a mini-interview with the hiring committee and some other GHPC staff. Then, there was a video interview which included a short presentation, followed by more questions, and a final written session. Overall, I enjoyed the process.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
So the interview process kicked off with a one-hour meeting with the Department Director and another faculty member. After that, we had lunch with a few associates. It was mostly just chatting about the different research projects the faculty are working on, the kind of research help the university offers, and how there's not much money for travel.
