I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Columbia University in May 2018

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you interested in pursuing your career further in academics
I send a letter and my resume to the PI saying that I would love to join the group. Got some friendly answer so I went to new york to meet in person. Interview was rather informal, just a short chat with the PI and lunch with the rest of the group.
