      Postdoctoral Scientist Interview

      23 Jun 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Ludwigshafen am Rhein
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BASF (Ludwigshafen am Rhein)

      Interview

      Das erste Gespräch war mit dem Arbeitsgruppenleiter, das zweite mit einer Personalerin. Beides sehr angenehme Gespräche. Das Erste war sehr Fachspezifisch, also für einen frisch gebackenen Doktoranden recht leicht zu meistern. Anschließend folgte ein Mittagessen mit einer fachkundigen Mitarbeiterin, die selbst vor nicht allzulanger Zeit in den selben Schuhen steckte wie man selbst. Die Fragen waren dieses mal allgemeiner: zur Motivation, Persönlichkeit, Fallbeispiele,... Die Zeit geht schnell vorbei und das Essen wird kalt. Zuletzt war noch ein Gespräch mit der Abteilungsleiterin geplant, die jedoch nicht verfügbar war, also gab es ein Gespräch mit einem langgedientem Gruppenleiter einer anderen Arbeitsgruppe. Darin sollte man sich das Funktionsprinzip seines Produktes selbst erarbeiten, und auch das Prinzip des Themas der Promotion erklären. Ein sehr interessantes Gespräch, zumindest von meiner Seite.
