I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Nations (New York, NY) in May 2021
Interview
I did a short 30min call for a research fellowship position which was more informal than I expected. The interview was with just the research manager. It was a very short turn around, probably because they needed assistance on the research project asap.

It was a competency based interview. First they asked how knowledgable I was about the subjects the department was working on. Then, they asked me about give examples about how I contributed to the data visualization, data analysis.
