Most likely to get a job through professional networking. If invited for an interview be prepared to give an hour-long talk to a specialized audience of up to 50 people. Be ready to defend your subject. Have in-depth knowledge of the lab you are applying to. Also be prepared to ask pertinent questions during a lab tour.

Question 1
During the job talk, I was asked a technical question about a very specific aspect of my research.
It was alright. Supervisors were very positive, but some red flags emerged indicative of dysfunctional work culture. Overall, I would say go for it, but be aware of what you are getting into.

Entretien
The interview process is very informal-- it typically involves presenting your previous work in front of the lab / research group you are planning to join, then go through a series of one-on-one meetings to discuss research interests and prior experiences. The overall process may vary greatly though depending on the particular research group / department you are planning to join.

Entretien
It's a full day process, met with PI, gave a presentation, then talk individually with every lab members. Since I came from a totally different background, there was no difficult questions. At the end, I was told that an official offer will be made once the PI got feedback from lab members. Overall very pleasant experience
