I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at UT Southwestern Medical Center
Interview
Went through 3 rounds of interviews over 3 months. Was given a job offer at the same time I was offered a position with another PI. I was asked to reject the offer from the other PI and filled out paperwork with HR for them to complete my formal offer and was assured that if I rejected the other offer I would have this offer. Was told I would get my offer letter in about 2 weeks. 2 weeks passes I get an email from the company website saying they rejected me for the position. I ask for info from both the PI and HR rep who have been non-responsive. They don't respond for a week+. Then I get contacted from their internal recruiting asking me to apply to the same position, and multiple emails asking me to discuss the "miscommunication" with my application. Overall do not recommend the pediatric department for research as they seem to at best be disorganized and at worst malicious/underhanded with their recruiting practices.
