I have an interview tomorrow for an Undergraduate Research opportunity. I believe this study is not currently underway as it has yet to be posted on our University website (I've tried searching the Graduate Student's names, the title and nature of the research without success). As such, I only have a general idea of the study based on the title and through the grad students profiles. I have not been able to find the supervising faculty member. I feel that I'm going into this blindly, so I'm not sure the best way to present myself as a candidate or the questions I should ask.
I have had interview experience in professional settings for a prior career (management level), and intend to conduct myself in a way that is similar (bringing resume that includes relevant coursework and research interest, writing samples). I also know that 3 other candidates are scheduled for this interview (2 in neuroscience, 1 other psychology).
Any input would be appreciated. From the information I have gathered, this research would be ideal. This is my first opportunity for research and as a junior undergrad, a great opportunity to begin developing my capstone, and works with the demographic that I intend to work with in the future.
