I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salk Institute
Interview
The whole process was very quick and easy! I had 6 interviews in a 3 hour period, each with a panel of three people I would work with. Everyone was really friendly and annoyed that they had to go through stock HR questions before getting to know me better. The standard questions were all situational and focus on how you handled certain situations in the past.
one phD came to interview me as her assistant. She asked couple of questions about my academic interest. She was doing plant biology research but I only had research experience of molecular biology. So she thought that my background didn't match hers. I didn't pass the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"I saw your background and knew your interest was in molecular biology, but I am doing plant biology research. How do you apply your knowledge to my research?"
