I applied online. I interviewed at Columbia University in Aug 2020
Interview
An initial phone screening focused on my employment history and a longer more conversational interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager asked almost no technical questions (how does algo X work?). When I dug into the requirements with the hiring manager, it became clear he was looking for someone with more than entry-level/associate data scientist experience, almost someone with a data engineering skillset to deploy models into production.
