I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Duke University (Durham, NC) in Oct 2014
Interview
I met with the advisor to learn about the opportunity and was asked to convey my interest via email in a week. After doing a brief research on potential advantages of working on the proposed project, I conveyed my interest, following which I was called for an on-site interview, which was scheduled for in about 4 weeks. All travel arrangements were made by the employer. It was almost a day-long interview (8 AM - 2 PM), and included one-on-one with graduate students, postdocs and research faculty and an hour-long presentation session later that afternoon. The interview ended with a one-to-one interview with the advisor himself.

Interview
Casual, as I knew the Principal Investigator. We spoke once about the position, and I accepted the offer. I learned more about the position and the opportunity arose when the PI's funding came through, albeit a little bit into the fall semester. I met the primary administrator and other staff during the process. All were welcoming individuals who gave me the opportunity to ask questions.
