I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yale University (New Haven, CT) in Aug 2013
Interview
The interview consisted of a full day of in depth scientific discussion with the hiring professor and a full 1 hour talk, including meetings with other laboratory members. I was tested on my scientific knowledge and creativity, and potential work projects were defined. The presentation is key to getting an offer, but scientists usually know you ahead of time. I had met the hiring professor at meetings and so we were already acquainted. They took me out to dinner at a nice restaurant in New Haven.

Friendly, informative, and not a lot of technical questions. Took an online interview, and the experience was great. However, they want more senior candidates. I met with only one person from the office and didn't see the professor or PI.
