Could you tell us something about you that you feel is important, but that we did not discuss it yet?
Do you have any questions for us?

Second University:

Please give a one minute summary of the research you envision doing here. And if someone from the general public asked you: why should I care about what you are doing? What would be your response?
Five years from now, if you came here, what sort of group would you imagine having (e.g., equipment, personnel, areas of activity, collaborations, sources of funding, etc...)?
What are the big questions in your field, and in what ways could you (e.g., particular methods and strengths) make significant contributions to answering them?
What department courses (new or current) would you like to teach? And what current courses do you feel competent to teach?
What do you see as the main challenges to making our field and department more diverse and can you envision initiatives to achieve this goal?
