The method currently used in the US for selecting candidate for public office?
In the US, candidates for public office are typically selected through a combination of party primaries and caucuses, followed by a general election. Political parties hold primary elections or caucuses to determine the nominee for each party, and the winning nominees then compete against each other in the general election. This system allows for a multi-step process that involves both party members and the general public in selecting candidates.

Does a state hold primary as well as caucus both?
Some States hold Caucuses and some hold Primaries. A Caucus, as I understand it (from the British side of the herring pond) is a kind of internal Party talking shop, where party members discuss candidates then split into groups supporting each candidate until a point is reached where one candidate is by general consensus the favoured one. In a Primary, registered Party Members (and in some cases registered voters who are not members of any Party) vote by secret ballot on the list of candidates.
Are the primaries held before or after the national conventions?
They are held before. There would be no reason to hold them after the candidate has been chosen.
