I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Western Connecticut State University (Danbury, CT) in Feb 2016
Interview
Overall the process was quick. Questions were primarily job-specific related to the lab work I would be assisting with. I imagine each lab interviews in this same way, so just be aware of what the job description actually entails.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you comfortable with fieldwork and wearing clothing treated with insect repellents?
