Computer & Information Technology Undergrad

1. Yes
2. Conference call
3. 30 minutes
4. Basic interview questions (teamwork, personality, etc...) Why I would want to work for them and be apart of SMART. After that it went into some broad technical questions.

Optical Engineering PhD

1. Yes
2. Phone/Conference call
3. Around 30 minutes on two separate occasions
4. They didn't really interview me so much as they asked me if I was interested in working for them. Mostly talked about the facility, and the questions I was asked were to find out if there was something they could say to persuade me to say yes.

Good luck!

[guest]

a.) Yes
b.) Conference Call
c.) 30 - 45 minutes
d.) Basic interview questions, future goals and why you have those goals, they talked a lot about the SF and even told me the places that most of the recipients tend to live etc. The people at my SF are super nice, it wasn't an intimidating phone call at all.
