skype interview with prof. xiaodong yang:

2. i presented my research summary;
3. we discussed the snom, 325 laser lithography and the micro-raman/pl/tcspc system;
4. prof. yang introduced his group, facilities, such as picoquant tcspc, fib, ftir, comsol/computers, lasers and spectrometers, and his relation to nano letters reviewers, such as prof. xiang zhang at uc berkeley;
5. prof. yang told me he would like me to handle the molecule chemistry in metasurface-enhanced infrared absorption;
6. i asked and prof. yang replied that his lab had fume hood for molecule chemistry and collaboration was possible upon requests;
7. prof. yang asked and i replied my expected anuual salary to be 40000 usd, and he said he needed to wait for a funding in feb. for my salary request;
8. prof. yang told me about the living cost in his town (500 usd rent) and can immediately offer me 2500 usd per month as a visiting scholar position for 2 years;
9. prof. yang asked and i replied that i was waiting for another feedback from rpi, and he compared missouri ust with rensselaer polytechnic institute;
10. prof. yang switched to chinese (普通话), and talked about the work and papers of his postdoc and visiting scholars;
11. prof. yang emphasized how to cherish my time to make full use of my strength for paper publication rather than building instruments for a new group;
12. prof. yang allowed me to think about his offer, discussed with my wife and give him a feedback in january.

end on 20 dec 2015.

in jan. 2016, i emailed to prof. yang to ask about the annuals vacation and insurance. he replied that his postdoc and visiting scholar normally did not have vacation except special cases and they paid for their own insurance. i hesitated and finally rejected his offer as visiting scholar in feb. 2016 when another offer came.

缘起:我找海外博士后,投过126个简历,有过十几次欧美博士后面试。其中印象深刻的是英国大学的2次面试,因为我不是被问教科书知识就是被问到答不出来;还有两次美国大学的华人老板面试,其中一个当场给了offer,结果后面email交流offer细节之下发现是坑,因为没有假期和自付保险;还有中美联合项目的面试,是给offer最早的(一般国内的offer肯定是最早到的),却在内地大学的人事部这个环节上不顺畅,最后发现也是坑。这么多次面试、拒信和offer,我最后的选择是最符合我的能力和兴趣的,所以说这个被筛选和筛选offer的过程,正是对自己的科研能力和兴趣越来越明晰的过程,最终达到一个劳资双方都匹配的状态。回头来看,我是应该感谢那两所英国大学如此严格的面试以及拒信的,否则即便我拿到了他们的offer,我的表现可能很差,最终双输。当然,伴随着这个找博士后过程的是焦虑、恐慌、诱惑,人难以很从容地做决定。但是,我的经验是即使面试当场给了offer、面对当场答应就解脱的诱惑,自己都必须冷静几天考虑一下在平静状态下再做决定。也正因为此,我会将这些博士后面试经历陆续分享出来,希望对其他找海外博士后的虫友有所帮助。
