Behavioral Technical

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.
