After I submitted my CV, work samples, and references, I had an interview with three faculty members. They asked me some standard questions, and I was told all applicants were asked the exact same questions. The interview felt pretty formal and rigid because the questions were all pre-planned, and the team didn't really ask any follow-up questions. They did, however, answer my questions.

Behavioral Technical
The interview was conducted over Zoom, although a phone screen would have been more appropriate. The hiring committee seemed rushed and unprepared, suggesting a lack of thorough application review. They tried to fit interviews into brief 10-minute slots, which felt unusual for a six-person Zoom call. This could have been avoided with a preliminary phone screener. Each committee member asked one pre-planned question, and three of these were already covered in my initial introduction. They couldn't offer meaningful answers to my questions about the position and didn't seem knowledgeable or invested in hiring for the role. I won't be pursuing any offers or further interviews.

I had an initial phone interview with four people on the hiring committee. They each took turns asking me questions that were prepared beforehand. Most of the questions were directly related to the job, not just general questions about my strengths or weaknesses.

It was an in-person interview with some folks joining via Skype. A panel of four people from the department and two from admissions were present. It lasted about 45 minutes, and there was time at the end for questions. Overall, it felt relaxed and friendly.
