Three interviews in total with the whole process taking about 5 weeks. Not sure if that's typical of Duke or just a unit looking rapidly for someone to fill the role. Questions were fairly run of the mill. Initial interview was with potential collaborators in other offices (not the direct unit). Second interview was more of an introductory convo to the final on-site interview. Final interview was on-site and filled with interviews with the direct team, on-campus partners and students. Conversation with students were the most revealing and at times didn't seem in alignment with what convos with the staff. Hopefully this person will be able to bridge the gap between what the University wants to do with the program and students' needs.

Phone interview followed by a day and a half on campus with several meals, meetings with staff, presentations, and individual interviews. Everyone was really open and welcoming. Met with collaborators across campus as well as some students. It was more casual than I expected for a private university, and people were also very candid about the benefits and challenges of working at the University.
