For PhD programs, the interview process is more structured and competitive. After an initial evaluation of the CV and research proposal, selected candidates are invited to an oral interview, which usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes. Candidates are often asked to present their research proposal and discuss their previous research experience. The committee evaluates scientific maturity, methodological knowledge, originality of ideas, and alignment with the research group. The interview is frequently conducted entirely in English. For research positions or postdoctoral roles, the process typically includes a CV screening, a technical interview with the principal investigator or a committee, and sometimes a seminar presentation of previous research work. The evaluation focuses on publications, research experience, technical skills, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Overall, the interview process aims to assess academic preparation, motivation, and compatibility with the program or research group.
