I had the telephone interview and was a good experience. the interviewer was friendly and was answering all the questions i had. She was patient and was accomodating of my available time. I am located in australia and they took care of the time difference properly.

I interviewed with the lab and found their research fascinating. I presented my prior research and discussed with members of the lab. The HHMI principal investigator discussed my prior work, but we focused far more on what my plans would be if I joined the lab. I had interviewed at a couple other places and knew that I was interested in this one. My background didn't fit perfectly, but the PI saw an opportunity to gain expertise in a field that may help the lab.
