I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at University of Cambridge (Cambridge, East of England, England) in Dec 2020
Interview
Very layed-back and quite informal. Basic questions about my background and motivation. A few basic technical questions (theoretical concepts, equations) based on real-life situations. The professor was very nice and gave me enough time to think and write down my answers. The interview took around half an hour.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Can you introduce yourself?
Q: What are your previous research experiences?
I had a online meeting (30min) with potential supervisor and another professor in the department. They asked details about my research plan and feasibility, and etc.. You need to prepare to answer to detailed questions

Very easy, just a casual chat with the prof.

Asked what papers from the lab I had read.
Asked about funding I'd applied for.
30 minutes interview with standard questions such as motivation and your future plan. Good to read few academic papers that are relevant and not relevant to your field. Be prepared to talk about it.
