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."

The only really difficult interview was the onsite. The hardest IMO was the most technical portion, which was a probability problem and a standard coding challenge. The questions were along the lines of: a standard game of chance with dice and to calculate some probabilities; and to program a function that calculated something based on a probability distribution.
