I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Virginia Commonwealth University (Richmond, VA) in Feb 2015
Interview
It took awhile to hear back from HR after you send your application but the first thing they do is contact you and ask when would be the best time for an interview. I had a panel interview where there were multiple people from the facility who interviewed me. Only one person asked the questions, who was the director, and everyone else also wrote down notes on their thoughts for your responses. About 2-3 weeks after the interview, I was able to start.
good overall. Asked few questions regarding research and teaching experience and approved my scholarship following the conclusion of the interview. Highly recommend reaching out to advisors through email. Thank you
