I am considering applying for academic jobs with opportunities for clinical work as well as translational research. What is the typical time frame to hear back from the department after completion of a job application regarding the interview and a job offer after the interview, assuming the job ad is legitimate (not a fake formality job ad with a internal selected candidate already) and you do get the interview and the job eventually?

Members don't see this ad.
 
Obviously depends on many factors, but if they are actively seeking to fill a role, you may hear back about interviews right away if you have an outstanding application and they dont have a backlog of similar candidates. I found that the real drag was the period between bwing told they want to hire you and getting that contract in hand
Sometimes that can be 3-6 months.
