I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Temple University (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
Met directly with hiring manager of laboratory, discussed goals in science and previous experience. I had the skills needed so we started talking about the project at hand. It really was a simple interview, but this may vary among labs as every PI is their own hiring manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What previous experiences in cell culture do you have?
