I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salk Institute
Interview
The questions asked were ones that I expected, nothing too challenging to answer. When meeting with the PI they explained their research and asked about why I was interested in it.
Nice and easy general questions The interview process was well-structured and organized, with clear communication throughout each stage. The interviewers were professional, welcoming, and created a comfortable environment that made it easy to engage and share my experiences. I appreciated the thoughtful questions, the opportunity to discuss my skills in depth, and the timely follow-up, which made the overall experience feel smooth, fair, and candidate-focused.
Process was extensive but not intimidating. They really want to make sure you're up to the task but were easy to talk to. They were willing to teach what was limited in order to fit the job description.
