United StatesPosted Jul 2015 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I was contacted by a research coordinator to schedule my interview, and once it began I met the PI along with other lab members.

The PI asked about my background and what my goals were, and they also checked whether I had any questions about the application.

The lab members walked me through what daily work looked like and discussed some projects happening in the lab. The whole experience felt thorough and grounded in the reality of the position, and I appreciated that I could ask questions in the same setting. After the interview, I was contacted within about two weeks to talk through an offer. Looking back, it felt like a good academic process—structured, substantive, and very oriented around the lab’s actual needs.
