Colloquio
I had a phone interview, then set up an in person interview by e-mail. Met with two lab members, then two PI's. Lab members asked me general interview questions, such as my greatest strengths and weaknesses. Then I met with the two PI's one after another. They explained their research and asked how my skills would translate to that work. I then took a brief lab calculations and dexterity test.

Colloquio
The position I interviewed for required two screening calls from a recruiter, and two separate interviews with staff from the research project. The recruiter shared the overview of the position as described in the posting along with the salary. The process from sending the application to hearing back about position took about 2 months.

Colloquio
The interview process consisted of a single round and focused primarily on my previous research experience and academic background. I was asked to discuss past projects I had worked on, including the methodologies I used and the key findings or challenges I encountered. The interviewer was particularly interested in understanding my research interests and how they align with specific areas of focus within the program.
Throughout the conversation, I had the opportunity to demonstrate both my quantitative and qualitative research skills, such as data analysis, literature synthesis, and critical evaluation of evidence. In addition to technical competence, the interviewer also assessed communication skills—how clearly and effectively I could explain complex ideas—as well as my enthusiasm and positive attitude toward collaborative research and learning.
Overall, the interview felt conversational and evaluative of both my analytical abilities and my motivation to contribute meaningfully to research in the field.
