Technical Behavioral

The interview process is pretty laid back. They'll ask some basic technical questions, but if you have common sense, you'll be fine. Getting your resume seen is the toughest part, as spots pop up randomly. Your best bet is to apply around summertime because a bunch of lab assistants leave after graduation.

Behavioral Presentation Technical

Applied electronically. Had a phone call interview with faculty. Waited about 4 weeks for a response, which felt quite long, possibly because they were considering and rejecting their initial top choice or the offer was too low. Then had an on-campus interview and gave presentations. Received a response two weeks later. Ultimately, the search committee couldn't find a suitable candidate.
