Interview
Before the interview they have looked at my PhD thesis. So it started a discussion around the methodology I employed and how this can be applied to the research project that I am expected to be working on it. They asked if I have GitHub account and about open source projects that I may have contributed. They have looked at my previous publications, main purpose was to assess the writing skills.
Friendly chat, felt rather informal. There was a panel of 3 people, two PIs and a postdoc. The interview lasted about half an hour and we were mainly talking about past experiences of mine.
