Will you be able to take your project with you when the fellowship ends? Will you be granted time to participate in a postdoc council, take courses, learn new technologies, improve communication skills, and so on? Does the mentor/principal investigator (PI) have funds for attending scientific meetings? How is authorship handled? How often and where does the lab publish? Where is the mentor along the tenure-track timeline? Will the mentor help you apply for small grants or fellowships? How stable is the current funding? How are research supplies acquired and financed?
