I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Brigham Young University (BYU) (Provo, UT) in Jun 2014
Interview
I called a number on a job posting that I found in the Wilk and was contacted pretty quickly. It wasn't hard at all, it was just a conversation essentially seeing if the job was a good fit for my life and what was going on. He had multiple research projects going on so he was able to put me in a good place. I was told later that he had a hunch that I would be a good assistant even though in the past he had had pre-med students that weren't really interested in the research rather they just wanted to check the box off for med school applications.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Brigham Young University (BYU) (Provo, UT) in Apr 2016
Interview
The interview process was super easy. I got a good grade in a class, so the professor contacted me. I sat down and talked about my life and goals, and they had me talk to their colleague. After they described their research, they asked me if I was interested, and then we talked about price. I should have asked for more.
