I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at New Uzbekistan University in Apr 2025
Interview
The process took 4 weeks. HR and faculty members were present during the interview. The questions were about previous research and teaching experiences. I did not find them professional since no feedback was given, and they completely ghosted after the interview. It is crucial that they take into account that they are a newly established university and their first impression was not favorable.
