It was pretty simple. I saw the listing on Handshake, which is where a lot of labs post openings, although many positions are found through scholarships. I applied and got an email the very next day about an interview.

Behavioral Technical
Had a Zoom call with two professors where we talked about the job responsibilities and research projects. They asked about my prior research background, my experience working with participants, and supervising other lab members. I asked them questions about the project, the university's COVID response, and work-life balance.
