First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP).
Intern
No interview was conducted for the internship, as entry is through a public examination. After starting the internship, there was a conversation with the manager about previous experiences and skills.
- Tell me about the challenges you faced during your undergraduate studies.
- What is your proficiency level in a specific area?
Postdoctoral Researcher
The interview was remote, which was good, but it started late because another one was running over. The panel seemed very serious, not creating a comfortable atmosphere. Some professors critically questioned my lack of international experience. Some were satisfied with my answers, others weren't. I wasn't expecting it to be as formal as a master's or PhD defense.
- Why do you not have international publications?
University Professor
The process involved a jury evaluating titles, a lecture, and an original thesis defended based on a memorial about your entire university career. The Memorial is quite useful in academic life, both for institutional purposes like career advancement and for reviewing your personal journey in the academic-professional sphere. It's a structured and analytical review of your CV data, where your academic-professional path is laid out and documented with objective information. The Memorial is even more valuable for getting a qualitative sense of this university life, not just for those evaluating you, but especially for yourself.
- Given your established reputation as a senior and well-regarded intellectual, why did you choose to apply for the Full Professor position only at this stage?
- How have you effectively communicated your insightful, unconventional, and notably creative thoughts, articulating your intellectual concerns and posing fundamental existential questions?
- Could you explain why your academic memorial departed from the ordinary by presenting two distinct theses—one on Education and another on Research—thereby integrating multidisciplinarity with narratives presented akin to a troubadour's tales, described as 'unequal but combined stories'?
Resident
The selection process has two stages: a theoretical test and an interview with a curriculum review. For the theoretical test, there's a basic bibliography, and they ask a lot about SUS and practical questions. The interview will be with the supervisors, and they want to get to know you.
- Tell me about your academic background.
- What about this position interests you?
- What are your motivations for applying?
