The hiring process at Heriot-Watt University takes an average of 3 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Assisstant Professor had the quickest hiring process (on average 3 days), whereas Assisstant Professor roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 3 days).
it was with 5 academics through 2 round and it was a fair proccess.
they asked on different aspects related to the research project. interviewers were very nice and friendly. my connection was not stable for the first time and they arranged another time for that which was very kind.
I applied online. I interviewed at Heriot-Watt University in Jan 2026
Interview
First round is an on-demand video interview. You will have about five questions to answer each with I think 1-2 minutes answering time. You are given a minute to process the question and then you are recorded. After that is a panel interview.
I interviewed at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Nov 2025
Interview
friendly staff, on campus interview. Lasted around 45 minutes with 3 individuals (one didn't work in the same building or was very related to the job). Positive experience, but were not good at getting back in touch with me following the interview
