I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MIT (São Paulo, ) in Jan 2019
Interview
It involves the submission of 3 letters of reference. In my case, as I was overseas when applied, a Skype interview was set up. I know that if you are in the US, you are invited to come to MIT to deliver a 40 min lecture to the group.
The process is very clear but it might depend on the PI. First one-on-one interview with the PI. Then you need to present your research work to the lab. Finally discuss with lab people in one-on-one.
