First, they looked at my CV. Then, I had a virtual interview for about an hour with the PI. After that, I visited the research group for a full day and interviewed with everyone on the team. I got the job offer a few days later. The whole thing took about a month.

Presentation Group Other
Submitted an online application and then attended two days of interviews in Geneva. Candidates present their past work to group leaders. The presentation schedule can be a bit disorganized, so be prepared for waits between interviews. Group leaders also give short presentations about their lab's work and opportunities. There are many chances to tour labs and have one-on-one chats with group leaders.

I talked with my future bosses, not HR. It was a great chat! We went over my history, what I've done, and my career goals. I also got to see what the team is all about, their goals, and how they operate. This helped me picture the job better. Super open and engaging, I felt really good about it afterwards.
