One definition of academia defines it as:

The environment or community concerned with the pursuit of research, education, and scholarship.

Whereas others would relate it more strictly to universities. Which brings me to my question:

Are questions relating to the environment in government research laboratories on-topic? For example, would a question like What to expect during an interview for a research position at a government research lab in [country]? be on-topic? (Notwithstanding that the question is perhaps a little bit broad).

Yes. Per the help center:

This site is for academics of all levels—from aspiring graduate and professional students to senior researchers — as well as anyone in or interested in research-related or research-adjacent fields.

That includes research in government and industry settings.

  • Speaking as a researcher in industry, I completely agree. :-)
