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

I was asked to give a presentation about my previous research, and it lasted about 45 minutes.

After I presented, I answered questions from other postdocs, which added a bit more scrutiny than a casual conversation. Then the format shifted into a one-to-one discussion about the lab’s ongoing projects.

That mix made the interview feel more involved. Presenting meant I had to explain my work clearly, and the follow-up questions forced me to think on my feet about details I’d covered. The one-on-one part afterward felt more collaborative, though, because it turned into a discussion of how I might engage with what they were already doing.

Overall it felt average in difficulty—not brutal,
