I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory (Boston, MA) in Jan 2014
Interview
Talked to everyone on the team 1 or 2 at a time. They asked me about myself and what I did for fun. Talked about what's going on at the lab. Everybody was incredibly friendly, didn't receive any technical questions. Took about 6 hours, met pretty much everyone in the group.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If I got a huge research grant, what would I spend it on.
Over the phone, not difficult more on the casual side. Just discussing my resume and learning about the position and what the group does. Emails through the remaining process. No relocation assistance provided since it was a Co-op position.
