I applied for a summer internship, not sure if it was posted on USAJOBS. About a month or two after applying, right before finals maybe, I had a phone interview. Then, I think I had another phone interview or maybe an in-person one, but with someone more senior. The third interview was definitely in person with the director and two people I'd met before. I heard back in a couple of days. The whole thing from the first interview to getting the offer took about two weeks. No security clearance was needed.
