Here are five possible interview questions that could be asked in the technical round for the job of “Senior Research Fellow” along with their answers:
- Question: Can you explain the focus and objectives of the ICMR project you’ll be working on? Answer: The project aims to explore the potential of Presepsin (sCD14-ST) as a diagnostic and prognostic determinant in patients with post-neurosurgical ventriculitis/meningitis. This involves investigating the role of Presepsin in diagnosing and predicting outcomes in these conditions.
- Question: Could you detail your experience with molecular techniques such as PCR and sequencing? Answer: Certainly. I have hands-on experience in molecular techniques, particularly in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for DNA amplification and sequencing for DNA analysis. This experience has been gained through both academic coursework and practical work in the laboratory.
- Question: The role involves clinical microbiology rounds and data collection. How do you ensure accuracy and integrity while collecting and handling sensitive clinical data? Answer: Accuracy and integrity are crucial in clinical data collection. I ensure this by strictly following standard operating procedures, maintaining proper documentation, and adhering to ethical guidelines. Regular cross-checking and collaboration with the clinical team also contribute to maintaining data accuracy.
- Question: Can you share an example of a situation where you faced challenges in a microbiology diagnostics project and how you managed to overcome them? Answer: During a previous project, we encountered issues with contamination in a microbiology culture. To address this, I implemented stringent aseptic techniques, reviewed lab protocols, and improved sterilization methods. These measures effectively minimized contamination and ensured reliable results.
- Question: How do you envision your role contributing to the success of the project over the initial six months and beyond? Answer: In the initial phase, I plan to establish a strong foundation by efficiently conducting molecular diagnostics and data collection. As the project progresses, I aim to optimize protocols, collaborate closely with clinical departments for accurate data integration, and contribute to the project’s objectives through innovative problem-solving and continuous improvement.
Remember, these answers are just samples, and you should personalize them based on your actual experiences and qualifications.
