I applied through college or university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Northwell Health (Bay Shore, NY) in Dec 2015
Interview
The interview process itself was very simple and painless. I met with the Research Coordinator as well as the Primary Investigator of the study and they were both wonderful! I felt at ease during our conversation and appreciated the thorough and frequent communication via emails during the process (status updates, etc). The hiring process, however, was absurd (through no fault of those I met with). I was interviewed in December, offered the position in January, and then told that I must go through the various Northwell Health protocol before I can begin (medical exam, background check, orientation/training, etc). I did all of these things immediately, yet they took TWO MONTHS to actually process any of it! I was not able to begin working at this position until March.
An initial interview with one of the PIs and a postdoc, followed by two more interviews with lab team members, and concluding with a final meeting with the PI I would be working under to assess fit and interest in the project.
