The interview process was straightforward.

Behavioral Technical
I went through three interviews for this research assistant position, and they mentioned it would be three interviews total. They said they would follow up within a week. The first interview was with someone who is currently a research assistant, the second was with a researcher, and the third, I think, was with the project manager. They were really trying to gauge my interest in their specific studies and see how my past research assistant roles compared to this one. They mentioned that they were looking for someone who could commit to the study for at least two years and that they wanted to find the best fit, so they weren't rushing to hire anyone. Each interview was quite extensive, with many questions, because they were very keen on finding a research assistant specifically interested in their area of psychology research, even though my previous experience was in a different psychology research area.
