What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

They're usually looking for a solid physics background; you don't always have to be a specialist in anything, but an all-rounder always does well. They also consider how diplomatic you are and how well you'll fit into a team, so be pleasant and polite, but not too rigid or afraid.

Ask a lot of questions about the team, people's experiences here are either fantastic or not so good because of the team environment.

Do you have any interview tips?

I was asked a lot of fundamental physics that I didn't actually know the exact answer to, but I walked them through what I would do to find out the answer and it seemed to work.
