I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at University of Cambridge in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied online and was invited to a Skype interview, which was conducted by two research associates and a PhD student. The questions related closely to the job specification (and were therefore fairly predictable) and my previous experience. They wanted examples of experiences that directly matched the job role, but they didn't mind me drawing on informal experience for aspects that I had less research experience with.
