Simple process. I emailed my cv to the professor. He didn't reply. I then went to his office slide a hard copy of my cv and a summary of my strength into his door. He hired me as an hourly paid employee at first. and then offered me funding several months later.

The interview process was very smooth, and the professor made me feel comfortable. The professor was interested in learning about my background, my motivation, my interests and shared information about the funding project. He explained the deliverables and what was expected of me as a GRA.
