Update: Thanks for all the advice! The interview went really well! At the end, the department chair said he was going to talk to the Deans. Now all I can do is wait. Thanks again!

A good (technical) interview should feel like a fun conversation with a friend on the topic at hand.
Most people are trying to see if they’ll like you, and that you can pull your weight. Assuming you’re qualified the second part isn’t an issue.
Practice with a friend or family member. Get comfortable talking about yourself, and post experiences. Get comfortable asking follow up questions. That comfort will let you be yourself during the interview so the interviewers can actually gauge your fit.
