The professor contacted me via email and requested that I use an online survey to pick a day and hour when the interview would take place. She also requested a CV and list of references to be sent to her at least 24 hours before the interview. The interview took place over Skype. We talked over webcam about how much and what kind of lab experience I had. The conversation lasted about a half-hour.

The interview process varies from lab to lab. Generally, all the interviews I have had have been casual and relaxed, with one or two rounds conducted over Teams or Zoom. There were fundamental questions asked. All the labs I applied to offered me a position.
