The interview process involved a pre-recorded interview. The questions asked were easy and not really related to personal academic performance or technical skills. You just needed to be confident.

Started with a casual 30-minute chat. Then, there was a 1-hour interview with two lab leaders. I also had to give a 15-minute presentation and answer questions about it.

Presentation Behavioral
I had a face-to-face interview with a panel of three people. I gave a 10-minute presentation on a relevant subject, then they asked me some competency-based questions. The interview itself was fine, but the communication afterwards was really poor. I had to chase them a few times to get a decision. I understand there might have been reasons, but it seemed unprofessional not to communicate. After waiting three weeks, I got a rejection email with no feedback. Honestly, the whole process didn't give me a great impression of the University or the department.
