Interview
Phone interview and then an in-person interview with the PI that took about one hour. All in all an easy process, though it seemed like they already had a candidate selected prior to my interview and were simply going through the motions.

I interviewed at Brown University (Providence, RI)
Interview
My interview process was over Zoom and it took about 20 minutes. It was for an undergraduate position within a department I had worked before, so the questions were not too difficult / out of the ordinary. Most focused on my organizational skills and research/academic interests.
Two phone interviews - one with HR and another with the supervisor for the position. Relatively mundane first interview while the second asked some more technical questions required for the job
