I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at University of Helsinki (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Dec 2011
Interview
It was really easy, very basic scientific conversation, presentation about previous work (Master thesis project), lunch with colleagues and checking if one can bound with the team. It lasted half a day in December. Nice thing was that all expenses were covered by the supervisor: flight tickets, hotel, taxi from to airport and from to institute.
