I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at University of Cambridge in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied online and was invited to a Skype interview, which was conducted by two research associates and a PhD student. The questions related closely to the job specification (and were therefore fairly predictable) and my previous experience. They wanted examples of experiences that directly matched the job role, but they didn't mind me drawing on informal experience for aspects that I had less research experience with.

Question 1
What are you currently doing and why have you applied for this job?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at University of Cambridge (Cambridge, East of England, England) in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied online, took 2 months to get back to me, but quickly followed by a panel of 3 for a face to face. Friendly people, good two way process. However, the next day was invited back for a second interview, but upon getting myself there at great expense, turns out the position originally applied for was no longer available and I was in fact interviwing for another! I certainly wouldn't have taken this up if I'd known that was the case. To top it up, I was never reimbursed the more than £80 of travel costs as promised, despite reminding constantly. All in all, friendly people, but seemingly little transparency and slow to act.
