I interviewed at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Interview
Academic Programs asked which faculty members I would consider working in, and after I gave them my preferences, they set-up the interview schedule. It's a one-day interview that began by giving a seminar that's open to the entire St. Jude community on my thesis research. The seminar is a standard 1 hour block with 45 minute talk and 15 minute question. Afterwards, there are 1-1 meetings with faculty members and members of their labs. Finally, there's an opportunity to give your lab preferences to Academic Programs and they will coordinate which faculty members similarly have preference.
