Asking for a later interview date?

[EastCoasting]

I posted this in another forum as well, but I would like to get as many different responders as possible, so I am reposting it.

I was wondering what people thought of the following:

I was just contacted by a POI asking whether we could get in touch for a phone interview sometime this week. I theoretically could, but I would really like a couple of days to brush up on the program and the POI's research. Would it be bad form for me to suggest that we do it next week on Monday?

Thanks

I decided to just go with the flow, and try and arrange for it to happen as soon as possible.

Good decision. You can probably do enough prep in a few hours.

If nothing else I'll enjoy my weekend more (knowing that I don't have to worry about this anymore)

Congratulations on getting (another?) interview!
