Several rounds of interviews, standard. In good alignment with other research assistant processes in industry. Mostly fit questions as well as about my previous experience. Also talked with other members of the lab.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to be a research assistant for this lab?
I interviewed at Harvard University (Cambridge, MA)
Interview
It was fairly standard, a virtual meeting was scheduled and I was asked to introduce myself and my research after which he told me a bit about his own. There were no oddball questions or particularly difficult ones.
Submitted application and was invited for an interview the next day. One video call interview, more like a conversation with two members of the lab. Both were very friendly and interview was enjoyable.

Interview
Pretty simple interview process; you meet a PI, find a grad student, and then decide on hours and if there are projects you'd be a good fit to work on.
