Experience - Astronomer
  • Led a 3-year survey using ESO/VLT and Gaia DR3 cross-matches to measure radial velocities for 18,400 Milky Way halo stars, improving membership classification accuracy by 22%.
  • Built a Python/AstroPy pipeline that reduced nightly CCD imaging (bias/dark/flat, astrometry, photometry) in under 25 minutes per field and cut manual QA time by 35%.
  • Co-authored 2 first-author and 4 co-author papers on exoplanet transit timing variations using TESS light curves and MCMC fitting, delivering mass constraints for 6 sub-Neptune candidates.
  • Maintained an on-call schedule for a 1.5m robotic telescope, resolving 47 instrument incidents in a year and raising usable observing time from 78% to 91%.

Interviewer
Walk me through your end-to-end workflow for turning raw CCD frames into science-ready photometry.
You
I start with nightly calibrations to build master bias, dark, and flats, then apply overscan correction and calibration with ccdproc; next I run astrometric solutions with astrometry.net and verify residuals are typically under 0.2 arcsec, then perform aperture photometry with photutils, choose an aperture based on FWHM trends, and compute differential light curves using an ensemble of stable reference stars with sigma-clipping.
Interviewer
How do you validate that your MCMC results are reliable and not just overfitting noise in a light curve?
You
I use physically motivated priors, run multiple chains with different initializations, check R-hat and effective sample size, and compare posterior predictive checks against out-of-transit baselines; I also test model selection with information criteria and inject-and-recover synthetic transits to confirm we can recover parameters within uncertainties at the observed SNR.

Why practice first?

Interviews are high-pressure

Even strong candidates underperform without reps. Practice reduces stress and sharpens delivery.

Rehearsal builds muscle memory

You get comfortable telling your story, quantifying impact, and handling curveball follow-ups.

Feedback accelerates improvement

Immediate, actionable notes help you close gaps before the real interview.
