skype interview with dr. sufei shi:
1. we discuss the snom spectroscopy and the spectrometer;
2. we discuss the 325 laser interference lithography, spatial filter, high-resolution photo resist and developer;
3. we discuss home-building a micro-raman/pl spctrometer, the mapping by stage scanning and laser scanning;
4. dr. shi talks about his plan to home-build low-temperature confocal laser-scanning optical spectroscopic systems for pl, raman and laser lithography;
5. i ask and dr. shi talk about postdoc job of optoelectronic characterization with a focus on 2d materials, such as solar cell and photodetector.
6. i ask and dr. shi talk about nanofabrication clean room in rensselaer polytechnic institute.
7. i ask and dr. shi talk about single-crystal material growth by home-build cvd and collaboration from cornell.
8. i talk about my experience of building cvd lab in nanjing unviersity and dr. shi talks about his using mass flow controller to build a cvd.
9. i ask and dr. shi talk about home-building a probe station.
10. i ask and dr. shi talks about my 1-year postdoc contract extendable to 3 years.
11. i ask about when to know the result and dr. shi said the result will be released in late january.
12. dr. shi ask about my labview experience and feels impressive about my background and skill, but he needs recommendation letters about before making a deceision.
13. we talk about my application for faculty positions and dr. shi said he is confident to have high publication.

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。 |
