I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Boston University (Boston, MA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Invited for typical 2-day visit with job talk. Met with individual and small groups within department and college including several administrators. People were a bit snobbish bragging about what a wonderful school it is and how high the standards are to the point of being a bit hostile. Focus was clearly on how much money I could bring in research dollars.
