I applied online. I interviewed at National Oceanograpy Center
Interview
Interview with a panel of four scientists. Some questions on motivations for applying to the role, but mostly quite technical questions (e.g., handling data and coding). Also had to complete a coding task, which was not discussed too much during the interview, and I was not required to directly show or share the screen. The recruitment team was nice and kept me updated when the interview results and feedback were delayed.
