I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UC San Diego (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
email with P.I in charge, then had a phone interview and went to visit the lab. stay for a full day in the lab and spoke with all lab members then we went for dinner at night got the offer the day after my interview
The interview was quite professional. They asked questions related to my major. I learned about my future work plans and my understanding of my current job. The conversation was not very long.
interview was simple and straight forward and I heard back relatively soon after the interview. Mostly asked about previous work experiences and other relevant skills. Overall interview questions were not too difficult
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UC San Diego (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Laid back, on couches, and the basic idea was to determine interest in the research the lab was conducting. Eventually, the interview became technical to understand how much foundational knowledge you have.
