I applied in-person. I interviewed at University of Cambridge (Cambridge, England) in Aug 2013
Interview
The interview was not particularly difficult and there were no tricky questions. They basically checked my background in order to see if I could understand and carry out a scientific project and then asked me about my skills and expertise. At the same time, they checked my level of English, which has to be very good.
