After I applied, the project manager reached out within two weeks. The interview was a 30-minute video call with three people: the project manager and two principal investigators. They asked me to get ready a 15-minute presentation on my past research. I got an offer the next day. Just so you know, the interview process and how long it takes can change based on the specific projects and research teams.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. I wasn't told beforehand that it would be a panel interview with multiple people, which was a bit of a surprise, though it made sense in hindsight. Everyone was friendly, but I prefer more transparency and like to look up who I'm meeting.
