I sat down with the Supervisors within the conservation project (Monarch rearing and research). I learned about what they do and its importance. And after our discussions I received a tour of the facility. After the interview it was important to them that I was able to work with them as a team so it took a week or so to know that I had a firm position with them.

Interview

The interview to be a research assistant at ISU is pretty liberal. The best bet is to do well in a class with a professor that is doing research and talk to them about joining their lab from there. Another option is to e-mail professors that are doing research that you may be interested in. I find that often times, professors will take you on even if they don't need the help because they see your passion.
