Seattle, WAPosted Aug 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After I submitted my online application, the process moved quickly: I had a phone interview first, and then an in-person day where I met with my direct supervisor and also talked with other lab members.

The overall timeline from application submission to being hired was about three weeks, which made the whole thing feel pretty compressed.

The in-person part had a clear “fit with the lab” vibe. I remember discussing what the lab was focused on and how my work and interests might line up with what the team was planning to do next. Meeting multiple people in the lab helped me understand the culture, and it didn’t feel overly formal—more like a sequence of conversations than a gauntlet. By the end, I had a strong sense of what my role would involve and how people worked together.
