What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
You need to be interested in your research area and have good people skills. The way people are managed and research is organised is a critical part of the business function. You should also have an interest in defence/military, which can vary from understanding international relations behind defence activities, to being interested in specific capabilities like how to make better tanks, planes and automobiles.
Do you have any interview tips?
Know your competencies, and explain them using the STAR acronym. Also, be prepared to answer some of your areas of interest may apply to defence, which can take some creative thinking. Be aware of current events, how the future of defence is changing and even where are current campaigns (Afghanistan - I've heard of failed interviewees forgetting that!)
