J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 12 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez NIH en mars 2011
Entretien
Very informal. 5-6 questions about my previous experience. Very specific. We talked by phone. I was in my home country. They were in the US. My English was then not the best. But they understood that. I could re-ask some things and several times they did not understand my pronunciation. But still everything was good.
