Presentation Behavioral
So after you submit your stuff like education, CV, and research, you've gotta write a research statement. It's about two pages, and you need to focus on the research topic from the job posting, showing off what you can do. Then, you'll present this statement to the hiring managers and they'll interview you about your research plans and past experience.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I was interviewed by the project supervisor and the department HR. HR gave an introduction to the university and the department. Then, I had to give a short presentation of my MSc. thesis. After my presentation, HR asked some general questions to gauge my enthusiasm. Finally, the supervisor asked technical questions. I also got to ask my own questions at the end.
