The interview covers basic questions about my research agenda and my broader theoretical contribution, and how my research can contribute to different segments of the Boston University Global Development Policy Center’s work, and my intended collaborator at the center.

The interview consists of several parts. First was a phone interview. The potential PI called me and briefly introduced herself to me. Second, it was a on-site interview. I gave a presentation and had a lunch with group members. In the afternoon, I had a talk with the program chairman, she asked me about my passion and interest, as well as introduction of the program and the format of training I would get in the next 2 years.
