Hello,

I've been invited for an interview for a postdoc that I'm really keen on. It's in the UK. the invitation I received said that the interview would begin at 11am and finish at 11.30am. Thirty minutes seems terribly short to me for this kind of interview. I was wondering is that the usual length? Does anyone have experiences of post doc interviews that they'd like to share? It's in the area of sociology/public health if that makes a difference?

I've only seen post doc interviews with a 15 minute - 1 hour presentation to department and then I don't know what happens to them the rest of the day! I think it sounds normal for the UK though.
