Academia Sinica Interview Questions

I already knew the lab PI because I was a student and she was one of my thesis advisers. After I finished my MSc, I contacted her directly and we had a short conversation. We didn't talk much because we've known each other for at least 3 years. After that, I got the offer.

The entire interview was about 20 minutes long and took place on campus. The Principal Investigator asked me about my background in laboratory techniques and what my short-term goals were for this lab. We also talked about some ongoing projects in the lab, including the hypotheses behind them and any potential challenges that might come up.
