About a week after I applied online, I received a call from HR to schedule an interview with the hiring manager. A week later I spoke on the phone with the hiring manager and a fellow scientist. The interview was very friendly and informal, mostly probing technical background and potential "fit" for the demands of the role. We also discussed Decatur, as the rural geography is not for everyone. All in all, it was an excellent opportunity, but after a month I've not heard back from the company. Looks like I won't be moving forward.
