Two professors asked me some technical questions about math. They gave me a list of 8 math topics, and I had to pick 4. Then they asked questions only about the topics I chose.

My interview had two parts: first, a phone call with a senior lecturer, and then an in-person interview with the head of the department. After that, there's a long process: first, a special resoursement committee reviews my application. Then, the members of my future department vote. Finally, there's a closed vote by the faculty academic council.

Behavioral Other
they wanted to check my language skills, my education background, find out my career intentions, and also learn about my research field and connections with foreign Universities. The work culture and people are pretty much the same as in other Universities, mostly focused on their scientific field. The working atmosphere is pretty chill, no conflict.
