J'ai postulé via une autre source. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Georgia Tech (Atlanta, GA) en août 2020
Entretien

Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience with XYZ measurement technique? How does it work? What are the benefits/ operation range/ detriments of using such a technique.
What do you think of this experimental setup? How do you think this device gives us more/less control over the parameters we are trying to adjust.
It was online with the lab PI. The atmosphere was casual and friendly, and I did not feel nervous at all. The interviewee actually talked a lot and it was more of a conversation than an interview. He really just wanted to make sure I actually was interested in the research.
