NYU Langone Health interview questions

Visited the lab and gave a presentation, then discussed research opportunities with the PI and other postdocs/graduate students. Sent over some research proposal ideas via email after the visit, and we agreed a start date.

I filled a questionnaire and received an email that the hiring manager was interested in conducting an interview with me. I scheduled a phone interview which went well and the hiring manager decided to include me in the second round of interviews which took place in person at the office where I would be working. The interview was more like a "get to know you" type of conversation and it was not too formal or uncomfortable. It took about 30-40 minutes. I thought that I was going to be selected for the role since I was asked to submit employer contact info/references. I'm not sure if the other candidates were stronger or if a former employer may have said something that would have somehow kept me from getting the job, but I was very disappointed when I wasn't accepted for the role. The interviews themselves were straight forward and pleasant, but I did not like that I was put in a position where I had to notify my boss that I made it to the final round and would possibly be leaving if I got the job only to not get it. Awkward!!
