      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Child Trends

      Interview

      This was a standard academic job interview. I gave a job talk and interviewed with several panels. At the end, I thought they would take me to lunch, but the person shepherding me through the interview process handed me a bag of take-out and said they were too busy to go to lunch because it was proposal season. I think the outcome of my candidacy was determined prior to the interview. The job was advertised for several locations, including the city where I live. However, during the scheduling process, HR asked me where I'd like to be located (which I'd already indicated in my cover letter), and after I told the HR contact, she told me that location was no longer available because they'd filled the last seat in that office. I asked how that would work, since I was not available to relocate and was not interested in a fully remote position. There was a long silence.... So, all in all, I was not impressed with how they handled the interview process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      When I gave my job talk, they asked me what my role was on the project I was describing. I explained that I had created the technical design for the study was the lead analyst.
