Entrevista
I received a phone call from a person in HR. They first asked me if I was still interested in the position. They then asked me for more detail on my experience related to the position. This information was passed along to the research head, who then decided whether or not to pursue a formal interview. I was contacted a week later to setup a skype interview date as I am located outside of MA and looking to relocate. Another week later I received an email from HR asking for references to contact. After another week the reference was contacted.

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.

Entrevista
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.
