I sent my resume to the hiring manager and they invited me for an interview. It was a really chill one-on-one with the hiring manager. They asked about my background and experience, and if I was familiar with research systems and the research process. They mentioned it's best to have some research experience already. I heard back after 3-4 weeks.
