I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) in Jan 2015
Interview
It was a very informal process as it was a student position at one of the school's centers.
I saw the position posted on our school job board so I emailed the principal investigator directly to indicate my interest. They promptly emailed me back, and suggested a time to meet to discuss the details of the position. It was hardly an interview as the "interview started" by them telling me more in depth information about the project, then they asked me if I would still be interested, then they told me the pay, and that was that.

Interview
The interview lasted around 30 minutes and was focused primarily on assessing my Python proficiency, as the role involved working extensively with parsing and analyzing data from Python files. The questions were straightforward and revolved around core Python concepts such as file handling, working with dictionaries and lists, string manipulation, and basic object-oriented programming. I was also asked about how I would approach extracting structured information from unstructured or semi-structured text within code files. Overall, the discussion was more conversational than technical, aimed at understanding my comfort level with Python and my thought process when working with real-world data extraction tasks.

Interview
The interview process is quite non-technical and mostly behavioural. It's quite informal. The interviews are very job specific, so your resume has already done half the interviewing for you. I was sent a link to a data science project and was asked to model blood pressure from other patient health records. Had a bout 2 days to submit. Was selected based on my submission.

Question 1
What projects have you done in this particular area relevant to our project? (For me it was modelling health indicators based on Patient data)
The interview process is not really too complicated. I would say it is pretty straightforward in terms of what kind of questions the interviewer is asking. Should not be longer than 30 minutes.

Question 1
They asked about my interest and why I wanted to come and join the specific lab at the hospital. What my intentions were in the long run and if I was going to stay long or not.
