Presentation Behavioral
It was a panel interview with four people. First, I had to present a research project I did for about ten minutes, and they asked some questions about it. Then, we discussed how I'd be a good fit for the job, which related to the main things they said they were looking for. They also asked about how I'd handle any ethical issues that might come up.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Had a Zoom interview with three people from the College where the job is. One was my direct manager. One person asked general stuff, another asked about qualitative methods, and the third asked about quantitative methods. I also had to give a 5-minute presentation.

The process was well-organized and to the point, with developmental questions asked throughout. It would be helpful to get a heads-up on how the interview process will be carried out before the interview. Also, the job description wasn't accurate.
