Interview Comments
  • I was a bit concerned that with just coming out
    of a Ph.D. program you would not be aware of what
    a faculty position takes, but after hearing your
    seminar and talking to you for a while, it is
    clear that this is not a problem.
  • It is great to see that you have some real
    teaching experience on your CV, that means you
    wont waste time figuring out how to teach during
    your first year.
