57 postdoctoral research scientist interview questions shared by candidates
Tell me about yourself. Why do you want to work here/leave academia? What ideas do you already have for the postdoc project?
In a group meeting, you have a strong opinion contrary to that of a very vocal other party. How do you handle the situation?
What kind of projects would you like to work on?
What research projects I had in mind and also asked me to write a mock proposal on anything I wished.
What is your decision making style
The most common question was what my long-term career goals were (conversion to staff, industry, or academia). Invariably this led to discussions about how the lab would support both my personal goals and theirs.
why moving away from academia?
If you were interviewing candidates, what question would you ask them that we haven't asked already?
I was asked my family status, and whether they need to do something about the 2body problem. (Vary positive but it came out of the blue for me)
