I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Emory University in Feb 2010
Interview
Four or five faculty members talk for about 30min, mostly on their own research projects. They may ask you for your opinion on some specific questions as a way to test your thinking capability. Would be a huge bonus if you can ace it but would not be a big concern if you feel you did a mediocre job.

Question 1
Please try to design a high-throughput screening method for antiviral drug discovery which also takes into account of cell viability.
It was conducted smoothly. The interviewer is nice and he asks me to introduce myself and share something on my resume. He also shared some insights into his career at the school.
I was called to ask questions about my interests in being a researcher and I was asked questions about my research in cosmology related to dark matter and Bose-Einstein condensate
