The interview was quick, only about 10 minutes long and conducted by the Principal Investigator. It felt rushed, and I don't think 10 minutes was enough time. It seemed like the PI didn't share much additional information afterwards.

I had a one on one chat and got to see the lab. They asked me some basic stuff and about my knowledge of the lab. It's a really good opportunity for students who are new to research, as they are always on the lookout for undergrads to join them, so you don't need any prior experience.

The interview process for a postdoctoral researcher (fellow) starts with a phone interview for the top candidates. If the interviewer is still interested, they'll fly the candidate out for in-person meetings. During these meetings, research processes are shared to see if it's a good fit. There will be more meetings with other professors, and the candidate usually gives a seminar on their recent work. Then, you just wait to hear back.
