I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Northwestern University (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2017
Interview
1) Phone Screen
2) In-Person Interview
The process itself was positive. My interviewer was friendly, but
I summit my application in November and I still haven't got an update from the recruiter.
It has been over 2 months. After phone interview, I was notified that I will know my job status within 2 weeks. But I waited 3 more weeks after in person interview. If they do not notify me by end of next week, I would be waiting for 7 weeks since the initial phone interview.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) in Jan 2022
Interview
It was super fast, very nice people. I actually really enjoyed the process because they shared a lot about career growth and how I can grow as a professional at this institution. I would not say the interview process was difficult at all. I had very little stress and they shared some questions with me beforehand
Online submission (upload CV, upload cover letter, upload research papers, upload thesis), one-on-one interview (Can you tell me a little about yourself? ,ask questions from your research field, future plan, possible advisors)
