I applied online. I interviewed at University of Cambridge in Jan 2021
Interview
Very academic, I’ve been asked for a lot of details about my previous research projects. I feel like the preferred style to present those details would be very like academic talk or presentation. Do prepare questions to ask them
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name approaches to identify and characterize all component in a extra cellular ligand dependent signaling pathway
I had a online meeting (30min) with potential supervisor and another professor in the department. They asked details about my research plan and feasibility, and etc.. You need to prepare to answer to detailed questions
I interviewed at University of Cambridge (Cambridge, East of England, England)
Interview
Very easy, just a casual chat with the prof.
Asked me about my experience and what I want to do.
Asked what papers from the lab I had read.
Asked about funding I'd applied for.
30 minutes interview with standard questions such as motivation and your future plan. Good to read few academic papers that are relevant and not relevant to your field. Be prepared to talk about it.
