I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UC San Diego
Interview
- emailed resume to (future) boss
- boss arranges meeting for interview
- asked about programming experience during interview
- asked if I would be capable of designing a software system while I'm here <-- very much appreciated, he went straight to the point instead of jumping around loopholes of how good am I with programming, etc.

Respond to posting online. Contacted by one of the lab's staff member. Took a quick tour of the lab and were asked some fairly straight forward questions about interests in the lab and personal interests.
