I applied in-person. I interviewed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Mar 2026
Interview
It was not that easy. They asked very hard questions. I could answer some of them, but not all. There were 12 people to ask questions. Each asked two questions
You have to be able to know about what you are coming in there for. Have some sort of interest of the research that you will be involved in. They'll ask you what skills you have/won't have.
I applied through other source. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oak Ridge, TN) in Feb 2024
Interview
1 hour seminar followed by a panel interview. STAR method preparation was helpful for the panel. Not very difficult. After the seminar crowd asked me about my work as curious audiences. Everyone in the panel asked at least 2 questions and later gave me the floor to ask them questions. It was online interview. They were very welcoming.
