United StatesPosted Apr 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I ended up doing a short, pretty low-stakes interview that mostly revolved around my research background and how my skills mapped to what the lab was trying to do.

In one meeting, the professor basically walked me through what the work might look like, but when I asked for more concrete details, she admitted she didn’t have much clarity and that the role was largely aimed at someone who could handle data cleaning for future research. It wrapped up fast—about 20 minutes.

That same overall feel carried into the other professor-led conversations I had: I talked through my time at school, my research interests, and what the lab was working on. Sometimes it was just an email-based chat after sending my resume, where the questions stayed on my language
