I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at University of Cambridge (Cambridge, East of England, England) in Mar 2023
Interview
The process took 3 months. First I applied with a personal statement. Then I was asked to take a short test, covering very general statistical skills. Finally, I was invited to an online interview, where I first was asked questions about my previous research experience, followed by theoretical applied statistical questions, and lastly questions about applied statistical research.
