I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PSI CRO in Sept 2023
Interview
The selection process consists of three interviews. The first is an introductory interview in English with HR. The second is a very technical interview in English with the Principal Biostatistician and the chief. The third is a purely bureaucratic-administrative interview, in which the contract and the work itself at the location of interest are discussed.
