University of Washington Research Scientist interview experience

I talked through my project work and previous experience, and we spent a lot of time on my PhD topic—getting into details rather than keeping things high-level. There were multiple interviewers on the call, and the pacing stayed focused on how I thought and how I’d approach the research in the role.

What really stood out was the depth around funding. We discussed a funding application, and then the conversation broadened to possible next funding paths and how that could shape future work. Overall it felt difficult mainly because of how much substantive, topic-specific discussion there
