Since I was applying from out of state, the interview was conducted via video call. They actually reached out to all my references before they even set up the interview. It felt pretty laid-back, with a panel of four people who were all working on the research project. We talked through my resume, my motivations for applying, and what I could bring to the table, relating it back to the responsibilities outlined in the job description. They didn't extend an offer, and I had to email them to find out I wasn't selected, which was after the date they initially said they'd let me know by. It was unclear if they would have even sent a rejection email if I hadn't followed up.

It helps if you've already worked in the department and if management already wants to hire you. This gives an unfair advantage to outsiders but fulfills a hiring process legality. To check if a job is already filled, call and ask if anyone from the department is being considered or has applied.

It was a pretty standard interview process, but very casual. I had to stop by the Professor's office during their office hours. The interview mostly involved questions about my previous experience, why I wanted to work on the professor's research, and how I'd be a good fit.
