Toronto, ONPosted May 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The process I went through felt fairly average and leaned heavily on my academic background—especially my undergraduate research experience.

Coding knowledge came up as relevant, and the conversation tied that to how I’d apply it in areas like neuroscience and psychology. There was also a more reflective component where I discussed achievements from my time at UofT and how those experiences had built strengths for working independently as a researcher.

Stats knowledge also came up during the discussion. I didn’t feel completely unprepared, but it was clear they weren’t only looking for research exposure—they were checking that I had the quantitative foundation to support it.
