I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Stanford University (Stanford, CA) in May 2013
Interview
It was an interview for 2 days straight, I guess this is good for you to know about the place and people you will be working with. It was hectic and tiring, but at the end of the day if you want to spend 3 to 4 years of your life here, you better get to know things and I loved the interview

Interview
Send an application via Stanford's centralized job site. Was contacted a few weeks later by the hiring manager, and all communication was done through her. The process wasn't particularly bureaucratic: a phone screen for the top 10 candidates, then in-person interviews for the top 3. They were fairly flexible with scheduling, and the interview itself went great. Heard back after about 2 weeks with the result (negative, sadly).

Interview
I am very disappointed in Stanford. I applied for the position at the end of March. I went through an phone interview and 2 in-person interviews (which were, admittedly, informal and relaxed). Each stage took at least 2 weeks, including scheduling, interview, and follow-up interview invite. After the final round of interviews, I was told the final decision would take 1-2 weeks and they would let me know. One of them even made sure I had her email, just in case. That was over three weeks ago. I never heard from them, even after several follow-up emails politely asking for an update. Not one of the 3 people I was in contact with took the time to respond that they were moving forward with a different candidate. I expect more from an institution of this caliber.
