The interview process involved two stages via a CNRS competition. The first stage was based on submitting a dossier to pre-select candidates who were a good fit for the role based on their experience. The second stage was an oral presentation where candidates had 10 minutes to present, followed by a 20-minute Q&A session. The oral questions were designed to verify the candidate's experience and to assess how they would handle the challenges of the position.
