I had a phone interview with the research staff that went well. I had to pay for my own travel expenses for an in-person interview since I was at a non-clinician level. After that, I had another positive interview, but the job went to someone else. I was told I was one of the two best candidates and they needed my references. While it makes some sense, I'd suggest not giving references unless you're definitely getting the offer, otherwise, your current employer will know you're looking. They then offered me a different position, but I turned it down because the salary at OHSU for my role was really low and they didn't offer relocation assistance. They wouldn't negotiate the salary at all. Everyone I met was great and I would have loved to join the team.

Behavioral Presentation
I applied online through OHSU's career site, which I found difficult to use. A few days later, the PI who posted the job contacted me. We set up a phone interview, and after that, we agreed to schedule a follow-up interview that would involve a presentation. Unfortunately, I never heard back from the PI after that, despite sending several follow-up emails about the next interview.

Behavioral Technical
Started with a quick phone call with some really basic questions, like 'what's your biggest strength?' Then, I had an in-person meeting where I talked to about five different research teams. It was a great chance to learn about each group and ask them tons of questions. The last part involved a final person asking some super specific questions about research.
