Postdoctoral research fellow Interview Questions

(This was strictly a research position) I have no interest in continuing clinical work, I got that degree just so I could study field X in a research capacity.

- Great publications, - A lot of resources to do cutting edge research, - Awesome reseach group culture (I already knew some of the people working in the group).

I had prepared a research agenda.

Basically they just wanted to know how flexible I would be in the lab, whether I would be reluctant to change gears if something wasn't producing results. I just love doing science and I love working on multiple things at once, so this was absolutely no problem for me whatsoever. There really were no difficult questions though. The interview was exactly what you would expect for any job talk you'd give in academia. If you know your work and get along with people, you won't have a problem. You do need to be able to give a good seminar though - work on it and practice it a lot beforehand.

Went into the details of some of the struggles I experienced and mentioned how I overcame those obstacles.

I had an experience and i was willing to learn new things.
