Hello everyone,

I will have a job talk soon and the professor told me in advance that I would be a perfect match for the position and that other candidates do not look very promising.

Do you know whether there is room for negotiation regarding the salary or something else?

Best,
Hubert. J. Farnsworth

I hope so as I also plan to negotiate the salary if I get an interview for the postdoc I have applied for...

even though that the position is listed as e.g. 50%?

@ TreeofLife maybe you can share your experience once you had your interview.

@everybody else: Maybe some other advices on whether a PhD-Candidate can negotiate and in which dimensiosns?

Are you in the UK Hubert? And are you talking about a PhD interview? If so, and the project is funded through a research council the salary is non-negotiable as everyone gets the same. Perhaps if the funding is coming from the university there is more wiggle room, but I've never heard of it happening before.
