Scientist Interview Questions

"The questions you are asked in an interview for a position as a scientist will depend greatly on field of science you intend to work in. Generally, interviewers will be interested in your formal education, field of study and specialization, work, internship, and research experience, scientific writing skills, and interest in the subject matter. Expect to be asked technical questions that pertain to the knowledge needed to perform the duties of the job. While there are some positions open to scientists who possess associates' or bachelors' degrees, most jobs will require you to have at least a masters' degree with the majority requiring you to have a doctorate."

54,405 scientist interview questions shared by candidates

For the 1 hour technical interview afterwards, it was questions to get to know me and what kind of algorithms I'm familiar with and other questions like 'what is your favourite machine learning algorithm', 'what are of ML are you interested in? Give an example of something interesting in that area' They never spoke about or asked me anything about my solution to the take home challenge during this interview. They said they were looking for a candidate that will bring something new to the team.
