The interview happened virtually on Zoom. Two interviewers took turns asking questions. It started with a basic 'Tell me about yourself' and then got into more technical stuff. The whole thing was just under an hour. Towards the end, it felt a bit rushed, like they wanted to get to their next interview. When I asked questions, they kind of brushed me off, probably because of time.

Behavioral Presentation
It was a standard academic interview process. We started with a review of my CV and credentials. Then there was an in-person interview where we discussed institutional priorities and ensuring a good academic fit. We also talked about expectations of productivity, the review of the hierarchy, and faculty governance. Finally, they explained the UNC system and how it interacts with various related institutions, followed by salary negotiations.
