Philadelphia, PAPosted Aug 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview ended up being a long, informal session where I ended up talking to about half the researchers in the lab.

I started with a brief conversation with the PI, and then I moved on to other post-docs and researchers.

The process lasted around three hours, but it didn’t feel hostile. It was more like the lab wanted to meet me broadly and hear my perspective as they talked across different people.

The challenge wasn’t the question difficulty so much as the sheer length and the number of people I had to engage with. I remember trying to stay coherent and consistent in how I talked about my experience while still answering each person like it mattered.

It was average in difficulty and the environment
