It depends on the PI. In my case, I had a phone interview first, and then had an on site interview. But the PI already made a decision beforehand. I met the people in the lab as a future coworker, and gave a presentation what I was working with.

Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. El proceso duró 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Penn State (State College, PA)
Entrevista
Very nice and helpful people, easy to talk to. They made sure that I was comfortable, and went through the process fairly smoothly. A lot of behavioral questions, so be sure to know about past experiences you've had and how they will contribute to your time at Penn State. Also be sure to know about the history of PSU ( not just about football!) and why you would be a good fit for their environment.
