So I had my interview in the computer science department's main office. I met with the professor who teaches the course. The office was kinda messy but it felt nice, with tons of programming books on shelves and a whiteboard with code on it. The Interview: First, the professor asked me about my Python background and general programming experience. We went over some projects I'd done, and I talked about how I tackle problems and fix bugs. Then, we switched gears to my teaching approach and philosophy. I said I believe in active learning and making a space where students feel okay asking stuff. I also gave examples of times I've helped people learn programming before.

Behavioral
It's usually a laid-back chat with two interviewers, not super formal. They mostly ask about your strengths, weaknesses, group work experience, and how you've handled challenges. The interview is about 30 minutes. It's good to have some questions ready to ask them. You should also know a good amount about UT Dallas and what campus life is like.

I put in my application online and then heard back about two months later. They gave me a choice to interview online or in person, so I went with in person. The coordinator mentioned I'd be meeting the whole leadership team for communications, so I did some digging on each of them to get familiar with their backgrounds, which was helpful. I met with five people, and the interview went for at least an hour and a half. They did mention that hiring moves slowly there, and I'm waiting to hear about an offer. Everyone was nice, and they asked a lot of questions about past experiences to see how I'd manage things on their team.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
You'll interview with your primary investigator (PI) of interest and about 2-3 other faculty. These interviews usually take 15-30 minutes, depending on the PI. If you seem to have the aptitude and a genuine interest in neuroscience, and can clearly articulate your ideas and interests, the interviews should go well. Also, PhD students might give feedback, so be mindful of that.
