They will delve deeper into your research background, asking about specific projects you have worked on and the methodologies you have employed. Expect questions that assess your ability to plan, execute, and analyze research studies, as well as your understanding of various research techniques and ethics in research. Research Exercise: Some companies include a research exercise as part of the interview process. This could involve designing a research plan, conducting a mock research study, analyzing data, or presenting research findings. The exercise is designed to evaluate your research skills, critical thinking, and ability to effectively communicate your findings.
