I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at UT Dallas (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2012
Interview
The interview covered three aspects of the interviewee. First, non-technical questions so as to check the personality and qualities of the interviewee. The second part was a discussion on the previous work experience of the interviewee, his perspective and his ultimate goal to be achieved. The final part of the interview was full of technical background questions

For most of these positions I recommend reaching out to the professor you are interested in working with and ask them to work in their research lab. It helps to read their research papers beforehand as well to get a better idea.
