Senior Lecturehsip Interview questions

Does anyone here have ideas on what sort of questions to expect at the SL level interview? Some info below -

Field is social sciences-humanities mix - I am more social science-y.

job talk has the brief of presenting a module outline, a sample lecture snippet and of course the research talk which is about current research and future plans.

My research talk includes my research narrative, sketches projects within it, a research consortium I direct, my current grants, grant bids in the pipeline (under review, to be submitted next month etc) - and I draw out questions of fit with specifics - as in my work dovetails with X and Y in cliuster Z very well - and I am bringing A and B to potentially clusters Z and M in your department type stuff.

For the main interview - I've got HoD, deputy HoD, 2 SLs, and 1 L.

Till now questions I've thought of include -

why do you want to work here?
Why seeking a move?
What are your research plans?
What kind of teaching do you see yourself contributing?
What kind of admin roles would you be thinking of?
What outputs do you think you can bring to the REF 2020?

In terms of questions to ask them I have two nice ones.

Can anyone at SL level or higher, add to my list in terms of other questions i need to anticipate?

Thanks much :)

Let it go now, really. And celebrate. You did incredibly well, you also sound like an amazing candidate who they are lucky to have. Congratulations!

Everyone wobbles over rejection and wonders why, especially when you think you've done well. Don't give it any more headspace.
