I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) in Oct 2009
Interview
Although the recruiter showed great interest in meeting with me and great enthusiasm in following up with me, she never called back when she said she would and when I would follow up, they would push the decision date back. Recruiter did not answer calls or return messages. After 30 days of trying to follow up, I gave up.
