Presentation Technical Behavioral
The interview process kicked off with me giving a scientific presentation about my PhD research. After that, I had a chat with the group leader and two future colleagues. They asked some standard questions about lab techniques I've used and if I've done any mathematical modeling. The rest of the conversation was about the specifics of the project I'd be working on. The whole thing felt really nice and relaxed, and it finished with dinner at a restaurant.
