The interview with the person hiring me was about an hour discussing potential research topics and methods for a research paper. It took about an hour, maybe more. Later, I met with someone from HR who gave me lots of paperwork to complete. The entire process took about 5 hours. It took a few weeks for the paperwork to get finalized.
