I interviewed earlier this week for a short term RA position (less than a year). i also have another interview next wednesday for a post doc that’s 3 years. obviously I really want the post doc as this is better for me career wise. without getting ahead of myself and assuming I’ll get offered both, what is the etiquette?

I expect to find out about the lecturing position tomorrow (Thursday) but obviously my next interview is not for another week and I’m not sure how quickly a decision will be made on that. do I ask to delay my decision? do I accept then apologise and drop out if I am offered the other? I’m sure this happens all the time but just looking for some advice.
