The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Rockefeller University (New York, NY) in Jun 2010
Interview
First had phone interview with HR, set up through my university career center. Spoke with Marivel Morillo, who was very helpful and communicative throughout the whole process. When a position opened up, she invited me for an interview. I met with her in person, and then was brought to the specific lab. I met first with the PI, who asked standard research assistant questions: experience, educational background, etc. I was most interested in that he was looking for someone who was eager to learn science, rather than just do labwork. He asked about my future goals. I got to hang out with the current research assistants, which I enjoyed very much. I then was interviewed by a specific post-doc in the lab, who asked more specific questions about my laboratory experience and what exactly I was interested in doing. Lastly, I went back to Marivel to give my impressions of the interview. All in all, a very amicable process that was almost enjoyable, despite the anxiety.
Very simple, one interview with HR, second interview with hiring manager. Then waited for 1 month and received the offer letter. The HR person first came to college to talk about the University

Question 1
why do you want to work at Rockefeller University?
This is a very professional and organized interview. First HR interview and then lab will reach out. Easy application and follow up steps. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get into research.

Interview with HR initially. If all goes well, they give a form to fill out where you select particular labs you are interested in. Hiring manager from a particular lab reaches out for an interview.
