The Beatson Institute for Cancer Research interview questions

I was asked to do a presentation followed by individual interviews with four PIs and group members. All online due to the pandemic restrictions. Well organised, very good audience, everyone was happy to answer questions.

The interview involved a panel of 4 people which included the Director of the institute, the Rearch Management team leader, a Research Associate and the Head of HR. Sometimes panel interviews can be a bit daunting, but I was immediately put at ease and made to feel very welcome. I was then introduced to the person who had been performing the role and was given opportunity to discuss the details in an informal setting. Finally, I had a brief chat with another member of the recruitment team who explained the terms and conditions of the post and gave me a lot of information about the culture of the institute. Overall, I was left with a very positive impression of the Institute as a great place to work. Everyone I met there was very friendly and clearly passionate about what they do.
