Phone call to arrange interview. Face to face interview with the principle investigator and one other postdoc from the lab. Interview was held in a small conference room and lasted about half an hour. The principle investigator did most of the talking. He started with "So you are from [town I grew up in]! What is it like there?", to break the ice. He explained the role of the job a bit more than what was advertised, and then he went through my CV and asked me what was the main thing I was hoping to get out from this job. I was given a phone call on the same day asking whether or not I could take the job.

One phone call interview, then a Zoom interview (during COVID times). Interview was only 10 mins long, as research group leader said that’s all the time they really need to make a decision.
