Notes:
You will be contacted in mid-November to schedule a technical interview if you are one of the approximately 25% percent of our applicants who are selected for continued
consideration. This interview generally lasts 45 to 60 minutes. It is patterned after the PhD oral exam and you may be asked to perform calculations, discuss your previous
research work, and to demonstrate the breadth and depth of your technical knowledge.
The interview may be held in one of a variety of locations, including hotel conference rooms, restaurants, airport conference rooms, or on a university campus. You may not
be given much advance notice and you will have to arrange transportation to your interview. Your reasonable-and-ordinary travel expenses will be fully reimbursed by the
Foundation if, at our request, you must travel over 5 miles.
If you are in any of the following cities or broad surrounding regions, interviews will be held on the following dates in the cities indicated. You will be notified of the actual
location when you are contacted for an interview.
Saturday, November 23, 2013, Boston
Saturday, December 7, 2013, Chicago
Saturday, January 18, 2014, New York Area
Saturday, January 18, 2014, San Francisco Bay Area
Saturday, January 25, 2014, Los Angeles
We expect to interview most applicants at one of these five venues, but interviews at other locations may sometimes be scheduled by the Foundation. Reasonable expenses
will be paid for your travel to the nearest interview site. While you may choose to travel to a more distant site at your own expense, you may wish to keep these dates in mind
when making your Fall/Winter travel plans.*
Approximately 50 Finalists will be selected in early February and these Finalists will be interviewed for a second time between early February and mid-March. The Finalist
interviews will take place in a variety of metropolitan areas and as before, you may not be given much advance notice and you will need to arrange transportation to your
interview. Your reasonable-and-ordinary travel expenses will be fully reimbursed by the Foundation if, at our request, you must travel over 5 miles.*
* We ask that you consult with us first if your travel expenses are likely to exceed $100.
