J'ai postulé via une autre source. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA) en juin 2010
Entretien
I was contacted by a professor in my field who was looking for a postdoc with a background similar to mine. We set up an interview for about a week later. I met with the professor, gave an hour-long talk with Q and A, met with different lab members and took tours of the labs, and met with the professor again; total interview time of about 5 hours. The professor was obviously extremely smart, very driven and excited about the projects, kind, forthright, and positive. The facilities and equipment were top-of-the-line, cutting edge. The students were smart with personalities varying from laid back to intense, funny to serious.

Rigorous and straightforward. Most questions were asked pertaining to your past research experience and how can our expertise contribute to new role. I did an online zoom interview with PI and fellow lab members

I met with my current advisor several times over the last year of my PhD to discuss collaborative projects. We worked together on a collaboration over the last year of my PhD, which led to the postdoc. This allowed me to demonstrate the types of contributions I could make on his research team.

Question 1
Rather than a formal interview process, I worked directly with my now advisor on a collaborative project.
I submitted an online form where I had to select education level, add a cover letter and of course my CV. This is a postdoc position so naturally I know that a PhD is necessary for it and I have one. It was also mentioned and/or implied at least 10 times on my application documents (for example, referring to my doctoral work or my postdoctoral work). After not hearing anything for over a month, I reached out to the professor to express my continued interest and I got a dry one liner saying "sorry you need a phd". I responded politely that I have one but never heard back. So much for world class research.
