I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UCLA (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
asked about my education and past experience. talked about my
enthusiasm about the job. interested in the power system and power electronics experience. the connections of EV in china helps a lot.
Relatively simple, quick response time from my managing advisor. Only took a few days to hear back following my application and initial interview. The rest of the onboarding process was a mess however.
It was a good interview process. Very straight forward and asked about past academic experience and ability to complete tasks. The TA experience was straightforward and easy to crack but landing one of them is hard
The expectations are familiarity with the subject, good English communication skills, teaching abilities, and regularity. They tested these and verified my credentials on my undergraduate transcripts, and basically I was good to go.
