We had a Zoom interview with 4 faculty members. They were all very nice and asked pretty standard questions. They didn't really dig deep with follow-ups. They were upfront about what it's like to work at a place that focuses on teaching.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was pretty thorough. It started with a phone screen, then some zoom interviews, and finally an in person meeting with a few team members where I got to tour the campus. It was a really positive experience overall, and the university is beautiful. I'd recommend it to a friend!

Behavioral Presentation

I got shortlisted for a 30-minute interview with the Engineering department chair and faculty, which I thought went pretty well. They asked me about my teaching and research background. I thought it was a bit strange that they didn't mention compensation. The next step was an on-campus interview, which was supposed to include a 1.5-hour lecture on coursework and research, plus meetings with the Dean and Provost. I decided to decline this, though, because the lack of pay transparency made it seem like a waste of my time and resources, especially given the travel and preparation involved.

The interview was supposed to be 30-45 minutes and business casual attire was required. I was asked about my previous work, availability for weekends and holidays, and then informed about the job and its duties. I met the supervisor for the projects and was given a tour of the offices and the facility. The interview ended up being almost two hours long, so it really depends on how well you connect with the interviewer.
