The interview was held over Zoom with the project supervisors and lasted about 30 minutes. I started by introducing my studies and research experience, then discussed my motivation for the position. The professors also asked about my familiarity with related work and my anticipated graduation date.

PhD Student
I found the research position on the university's website and submitted my application. The first call was short, mainly the hiring scientist outlining the project details and what they expect from a PhD student. It was to see if I was still interested. Then, I came for an on-site interview where I met the scientist and their collaborators. The conversation became more technical, and I also asked about practical relocation details. Overall, it was a great interview experience given my 12 years of work.
