Assay Development Scientist was asked...August 11, 2022

1.) Tell me about your graduate research? 2.) What was the most challenging part of your research? 3.) How many post-docs were apart of your lab? (They discontinued questions at this point)

1 Answers

1.) I told them technical aspects of my project. 2.) Communicating and connecting with non-technical audiences. 3.) We had one post-doc at any given time. When I could tell that the interviewers lost interest, I pointed out our labs funding history (highest in our department) and our publication history as evidence of our productivity. I also added that I had 15+ opportunities to mentor other graduate undergraduate students, which might not have otherwise happened if we had many post-docs. Less
