I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MIT (Cambridge, MA) in Dec 2013
Interview
MIT media labs contacted me after I applied online. I was extremely surprised that they even considered me. I thought I was fortunate to get this response from them. I was scheduled to talk to a staff member from the lab from the biological side. She spoke to me and asked general questions about my PhD, my interests, computer vision and machine learning. I did OK and I didn't expect a callback as a result.

Question 1
What is my experience in biomedical/retinal computer vision?
The process is very clear but it might depend on the PI. First one-on-one interview with the PI. Then you need to present your research work to the lab. Finally discuss with lab people in one-on-one.
