Technical Behavioral
The interview was with the professor in charge of the research group. It was pretty casual, mostly asking about my background in nanochemistry and semiconductor materials. We talked about my thesis, techniques I know like XRD, PL, and UV-Vis, and if I'd done any LED device fabrication. It went smoothly, more like a chat about research than a formal interview.

Presentation Technical
The interview process had two main parts. First, I had to send in my CV and a research proposal. Then, I had an interview with the Professor. It wasn't too hard because they hire postdocs mainly due to poor conditions, and people leave often. The interview didn't take long and included presenting my PhD work and research proposal.
