I applied online. I interviewed at EPFL (Neuchâtel)
Interview
A whole day visit, presenting my own research and then talking to each member of the group to discuss their research and my own work in more detail. The presentation was fairly formal but the individual conversations with each lab member were quite relaxed.
Chat with PIs and a current PhD student. It was easy, kind of informal. Very open and friendly. I presented my work that I did in my previous lab. Afterwards some question about the presentation
