Question 1
They will ask you questions about your research background and if you have any experience or interest in the research they are performing.
Only had a quick screening interview, with basic questions (background, interest in the company, ability to relocate, starting date). I was told they would let me know either way but they never followed up
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Pfizer (Cambridge, MA) in Nov 2022
