why are you interested in this job?
No difficult questions, we mainly talked about my statistical and medical data research experience.
How do you explain your research to a non-statistician? Coin-flipping questions. How do you analyze the data if they don't follow a normal distribution?
What is the most complex statistical analysis technique you’ve performed?
In addition to questions about my background and my past work experience, the interviewers asked for my responses to hypothetical research studies. Concepts related to missing data came up for a number of times. One question of many asked questions I can remember is: how to compare two percentages measured on the same population for two times? I proposed McNemar test. Refresh your memory on applied statistics.
what did you work on for your thesis?
What challenge thing you've ever faced?
Only one open-ended question and it concerned my best accomplishment. Very easy, straight-forward initial interview.
