Here are some of the questions I was asked during my recent PhD interviews:
- Tell me about your research.
- Why is your research important?
- How much independence and control do you have over your work?
- Tell me about a paper you have read recently.
- Why should we be interested in rare, monogenic diseases?
- What is the first thing you would do in an investigation to identify the mutation that causes a monogenic disease?
- Why do you want to do a PhD?
- Why do you want to do THIS PhD?
- Does the scale of the work involved in completing a PhD scare you?
- What factors control the expression level of a particular gene?
- What do you think are the biggest problems which are currently holding back the field of human genetics?
- What job would you do if you couldn’t be a scientist?
- How many people have ever lived?
