My brother had the same position before me. It was just a phone interview with the 4 researchers and the supervision. I did have some trouble with some paperwork. I didn't go to school in the same city as the main campus. I had to do a drug test in the city I lived in. They lost the drug test so I wasn't able to start work until I did another test.
