Golly gee. You guys must’ve crossed your fingers when I asked you to b/c today when I woke up I got an email from the researchers at HWI saying that they were interested in speaking to me. When I read the email, my heart was racing and my breathing quickened. Finally! An interview (phone). That’s the best response I have received in my job hunt so far.  I had to tell myself to calm down just a little bit. After all this will be my first real phone interview (I don’t really count my informational interviews since they were very casual).  I need to prepare for it. Look over my thesis, read up on their research so that I can carry a semi intellectual and scholarly discussion. I am starting to worry about it and I’m panicking. I just need to realize that it’s just a job interview and that no matter what happens, it will still be a learning experience.

On another note, I found some other post doctoral positions that I’m also really interested in. Today I applied to the following jobs:

1. AME scientist position

2. Mount Sinai NY pdf

3. Henske lab pdf

4. Millenium pdf (cross your fingers!)

5. UHN pdf (cross your fingers EXTRA  for this one!)

The last two I’m very interested in in terms of post doc jobs. In particular the last one. I am wishing extra hard and I hope to hear from these people soon!
