How many people are generally shortlisted for a postdoc interview? I just applied for and got shortlisted for a Skype interview. In a mid size University and Department in Germany (in Physics), how many people are generally shortlisted for postdoctoral positions?
I cannot tell for this particular case, nor for that matter for a typical German Physics Department. But in my experience (also in Physics), it is a few, i.e. 4 ± 2, for a single position (depends also on the number of good applications, could be as few as 0 but unlikely more than 8).
