I applied online. I interviewed at UC San Diego (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2020
Interview
talk about past research experience, why this group, do you have other offer deadlines, introduce the research project ongoing in the group, it's more like a conversation and behavior interview to see if you will fit the role. not very hard, be confident

Question 1
tell me about your past experience? why this group? do you have offer deadlines?
Phone and then zoom interview. The interview was average and pleasant. First there was an HR phone call, then a call with the supevisor, then a zoom interview with a couple of employees. The last round of interview is with the manager themselves.
Got an interview from a biomechanics lab. It was mainly focused on their research topics and gauging if it fits my background. I only shared my background for 15 minutes, and that was enough for them to make decisions.
