Three stage interview was scheduled, starting with telephonic interview with group leader, second round with a panel of 8 experts through skype and third face to face in company premises.

I first had a phone 'interview', where I spoke with one of the Breeder's at the station for about 45 minutes. I told him about my academic background, the research I did for my Master's degree, and generally about what kind of work I was interested in. It had a pretty casual feel to it and I guessed he was trying to get a grasp of what my personality was like and if I had the science background to be a good fit. I was e-mailed shortly after the phone conversation and asked to come visit the station for an in-person interview. 3-4 people were present during the interview, but only one or two of them actually asked me questions.

Had a phone interview with my boss, which lasted about an hour. This led to a full day interview about 10 days later, where I met individually with a number of scientists (30 minutes each), had a panel interview with my work group, and gave a 45 minute research presentation
