Got contacted about a month after application was send. The assessment committee consisted of five people, of which the head of the Phd school was taking the lead asking questions. Notably, no "specialist" within my area was present. I gave a short project presentation. The interview questions mainly centered around my background and the proposed methodology.

Engaged and curious hiring committee. Friendly but raising the bar for the conversation. Knew my proposal in detail. Fast return and offer, with coherent and specialized reason for offering the position
