I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at SOCHE (Wright Patterson AFB, OH) in Feb 2015
Interview
Showed me around the building, spoke with two people. Pretty informal. A material research explained to me some of what she does, then I interview with my future boss. He asked about my background and told me about his projects. I was informed a few days later that I was offered a job, but before I left I had the feeling I was going to be hired.
