First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Tel Aviv University.
Researcher
Interviews are always with the PI, and both sides try to figure out if they're a good fit. You gotta bring your CV and have related knowledge or experience in the lab's research area. The lab's supposed to provide what you need interest-wise, tools, guidance, and benefits. If you both agree you're a good match, they usually offer you the job.
- Tell me about your scientific background.
- What were your grades and overall average?
- What practical experience do you have in your specific research field?
Graduate Student
First, there was a brief interview with the Principal Investigator (PI) and some PhD candidates. Then, a short lab animal handling test. After that, I had to write a research proposal. Finally, I interviewed with the Admissions Committee, which included two professors in my research field. They typically focused on my research proposal.
- Given an unlimited research budget, what research would you undertake and how would you structure its design?
Lecturer
For 2 jobs at the Shmunis school of biomedicine, 7 candidates including myself were interviewed over 2 days. Day 1 consisted of a job talk for the whole life sciences faculty, followed by a chalk talk just for the school faculty. The rest of the time was spent in one-on-one meetings with faculty. The interviews started around 10 am and wrapped up around 5 pm, with lunch. The vibe was super friendly and casual, and even though I didn't get an offer, I was happy with how it went.
- What is your vision for your future lab, and what size do you envision for it? Explain your reasoning.
Foundations Relations Manager
There were two main parts to the interview process. First, I talked with the Director of the Strategic Communication Department, and then I had a second interview with the VP of Resource Development. The first chat was the really important one. The second interview seemed more like a final check.
- What do you think is the key to doing well in this role?
