Applied online, a few weeks later got an email for HR asking if I was interested in a different position similar to what I'd applied for. Did a phone screen with HR, then an in-person interview with the lab I applied to. About two weeks later (after references were contacted), I came back for another in-person interview with the lab, and with HR.
