I had a chat with the director where we talked about my studies, what I want to do career-wise, and why I'm interested in the transportation field. After that, I had to write about my past work and academic background and how it connects to the job.

Behavioral Technical
It was a pretty simple and straightforward interview process. They mostly wanted to gauge my basic knowledge of research and see if I was enthusiastic about academia. My background was also important because of the field of study, and they asked about my previous research experience and any conference preparation or presentation experience I had.

I had taken a couple of classes with a professor and did well. Then, during office hours, we had a chat about research opportunities where they gave me a quick rundown of the research subject. The professor looked at my academic record and gave me some stuff to read to see how I manage my time and other skills.
