New frontiers

Interview day! And really a new thing for me since I've only had academic interviews for post-docs, and those are quite different. It sure did feel different. With post-doc interviews, I'd usually get the chance to wow them with my research presentation before the onslaught of questions. But of course, for a non-research job, the specifics didn't matter.

The job itself is an internship through AHFMR at TEC Edmonton, basically the tech transfer office of the UofA. Their job is to help transition basic research the real world by commercialization.

And it's actually in Edmonton. It's a odd feeling actually. I hadn't considered that I'd be able to stay here, since academic routes all lead outwards.

At least I feel much better prepared for the interview tomorrow in Calgary!
