I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at West Virginia University (Morgantown, WV) in May 2013
Interview
Typical academic interview. Started with meeting almost every faculty member in their office for a half hour or so. Then gave a technical talk on my research with only about a 5 minute break. Immediately after that I met with graduate students, then was taken out to dinner. Met with more faculty the following day. While non-stop and exhausting to be "on your game" for the whole day explaining and re-explaining your research, it's really a pretty easy interview process without any formal technical interview.
