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 won’t waste time figuring out how to teach during your first year.”
