I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (New York, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
There was only one interview over Skype. Three of the researchers took turns to ask me questions. They explained the project they are pursuing. I was asked about my past project that I listed on my resume and my programming capabilities. Some background knowledge about environmental engineering was tested and how I would be suitable to contribute to the project based on my past experience.
