[交流] 海外博士后面试经历_Nanophotonics at Baylor University 已有1人参与

1st skype interview with dr. howard lee:
1.i present my research summary presentation.
2. he asks if i can do ebl and fib.
3. he said his group will be collabrated with a professor in quantum optics at texas a&m.
4. he said the result will released after 2 weeks and he wants me to come eariler.
5. he ask if resonance tunable plasmonic materials have advantages in biosensing.
6. he ask if i have experience in cars.
7. he ask my hometown and career goal.

end on 27 dec 2015. finally he informed me that he offered the position to another candidate but he had another upcoming fund that could hire another postdoc. he would contact me later for another interview.

2nd skype interview with dr. howard lee:
1. howard ask what sers/plasmonics can do as now they are well developed. i answer they can do reproducible biosensing and non-metal plasmonic strucrues by doped semiconductor nanostructures.
2. i present research works other than sers.
3. during the presentation, howard asks how to do fdtd, grow cdse nanoribbons, manipulate the nanoribbon and pump-probe the sinw pl mechanism. i answer lumerical, cvd, micro-manipulator and femtosecond laser.
4. howard ask what other fields i am interested? i answer metamaterial for circular dichroism detection, ftir absorption for biomolecule indentification.
5. howard ask how will i do research on metamaterials and sers? i answer using plasmonic optical treezers to manipulate molecules and integrate metasurface in microfluidic devices.
6. howard said he will aslo do hollow optical fiber for molecule detection.
7. howard ask how i couple the laser into fiber? i answer using thorlabs coupler with precise xyz dimensioning for free-space coupling.
8. i ask what optical characterization facility he has? howard said 3 kinds of lasers (femtosecond laser, high-power pulse laser, supercontinuum laser) and a few spectrometer that are listed in his website.
9. i ask what is my job content in his group and the collaborated group in texasa&m? howard said i will be helping students' projects, supervising students and mostly work for his group.
10. i ask when should i know the result? he said it should be in two weeks and hopfully i can start working in middle may.
11. howard ask how big is my current group and who is my current supervisor? i said my current supervisor is specialized in led and the group is 10 people.
12. howard ask if i have experience in supervising students? i said yes, i am training and supervising students in dong optical measurement of the nanostructures.
13. howard ask if i have experience in ebl? i said no, but i have experience in doing fib.
14. howard ask how do i use fib? i said i use fib to pattern on a sacrificing material deposited on gan and use it as a mask for icp etching of gan.

end on 23 mar 2016. offer came on 17 apr 2016.

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。
