I applied in-person. I interviewed at Stanford University
Interview
Typically for postdoc interviews, the candidate will be brought on site and give a talk to the whole lab, followed by 1:1 conversations with each lab member. The whole process can take a whole day. A lot of decision making comes from the presentation, especially the level of research the candidates conducted earlier.
