Interview
Treated like a mini academic interview. Met with potential supervisor. Gave a full talk on my current research. Met with other investigators in the department. Discussed potential projects and toured facilities available. Lunch with fellow postdoc provided an opportunity to ask questions about supervisor's style, expectations, etc. Dinner with lab group was casual. All expenses paid.
