Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Harvard University (Boston, MA) nel mese di set 2014
Colloquio
First, email extremely well thought-out, brief and dense resume + previous achievemnet + research plan. + letters of reference. IF that is good enough, than be prepared to interact with the lab director (principal investigator or professor). Be knowledgeable and confident. Absolutely know all the big papers from the lab, plus 3 of the smaller ones that have had the higher impact on the lab. If you can't figure out which one those are, you probably should not apply for this job.
