Why do you want to work for IDRC? What research experience do you have?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IDRC (Ottawa, ON) in Feb 2021
Interview
It was about a 50 min interview, in which they first told me about the position and the division and then asked a couple of behavioural questions, and a couple specific things from my resume. At the end, I was able to ask the interviewers a few questions as well.
