I got the interview after sending an email to the professor who listed the job on the university's internal portal. I then went to his office after emailing him to say I wanted to meet in person to show my interest.

It was a panel interview with four people asking questions. The environment felt friendly, and they answered my questions thoroughly. They asked many follow-up questions while taking notes. It was a bit intimidating at first with four interviewers, but they let me do most of the talking, so I felt in control of the interview's direction.

The interview process was pretty standard. I got a questionnaire with about 10 questions. It asked about my strengths for the job, any potential difficulties I might face, and my availability to start. It also included a task where I had to order some statements and explain my reasoning.
