The interview process is pretty straightforward, especially if you've got the academic qualifications and prior experience with the professor. If not, I'd suggest reaching out to the professor directly to show your strong interest in their research. It's a simple and quick process.

The interview was great. We went over my research, and they asked me some questions about it. Then we talked about hypothetical scenarios and personal questions. The whole thing was professional and direct. After that, we chatted about school and general life stuff. It felt very positive overall.

I emailed the professor with the application from the website, my resume, and cover letter. The application seemed to ask for a statement of intent too. Then I had a phone interview, followed by an in-person interview. The professor mentioned he was impressed with a paper I wrote, which I think helped, but my overall experience really stood out and proved to be my biggest asset in the role.
