      Postdoctoral Associate Interview

      Adelaide
      Accepted offer

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yale University in Oct 2011

      Interview

      I found the job ad from Naturejobs, and emailed my application. The PI replied very fast after two days, and phoned my current PI for recommendation letter. After the phone call, my current PI told me that this Yale PI is very happy with my back ground, and I got a big chance in getting the job. A few days later, I had a skype interview with the Yale PI and his senior postdoc. The interview was easy and fast. I gave a 40 minutes presentation of my current and previous work. They asked easy questions and described what they are doing in the lab. The Yale PI agreed to give me an answer within one week.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yale University (New Haven, CT)

      Interview

      I reached the PI via email. We arranged a 20 min phone call. I flew to New Haven to give a 1hour talk in front of faculty members of the department (they paid for everything). People were friendly but cold (you sense the Yale ambience). I met with group members and a couple of faculty in person for a 15 talk each.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      At the seminar they asked me pertinent questions on my work (after all they were expert in that). Questions were mildly difficult, as expected. Then I talked with the PI about job. He didn't into too much detail (I regret I didn't insist)
