Graduate Student
So, two professors are gonna interview you for about 30 minutes. You gotta give a good rundown of your research and what you've done. They'll also hit you with some technical questions tied to your background.
- Tell me about your previous research and any technical problems you encountered.
- What technical challenges did you face in your prior research projects?
- Can you walk me through the technical aspects of your previous research?
Operations Manager
I applied online and heard back about 2 weeks later to schedule a Zoom screening. A few days after that, I was invited for an in-person interview. They give you the interview questions 24 hours beforehand, which is cool. The interview itself was with 3 people and lasted an hour.
- Can you introduce yourself?
Admissions Reader
It was a quick process. They asked me a few things and then let me know afterwards. I felt like the staff were really checking for culture fit and availability. They were likely screening many people so it was efficient.
- Can you describe your relevant experience for this position?
- How do you integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into your work?
Student Advisor
Interviews were conducted remotely. The first round was 30 minutes long with two interviewers, and the second round was an hour with four interviewers. There were flexible time slots available for interviews, and the questions asked were fairly standard.
- In your own words, what is equity?
- How have your past experiences and education equipped you for this position?
