The whole chat is pleasant, there is only one interview with the researcher fellows and no HR people are involved in the whole procedure. I basically enjoyed the interview, it was constructive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What did you do during your last research experience?
Since there was no position in the department that I was interested in I simply submitted a "Initativbewerbung". I had an interview with two researchers. It was really casual and really good back and forth of understanding their work and my interests and experiences.
