I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Stony Brook University (Stony Brook, NY)
Interview
Applied through the professor I was working on a project for. Hiring was mainly based on my experience and background. I was lucky enough to have done a project similar to the one the job needed.

The process involved multiple zoom interviews and extended waits in between without much
Communication . Overall the people were nice but it wasn’t made clear the process for hearing back

Question 1
I was asked about my experiences and background and why I am interested in this university
It was a very casual Zoom with two interviewers. They both were very kind- the interview didn't feel formal at all. It was around 15 minutes long. I got the acceptance email around a week later.
