No "HR-like" questions. They care about your research aptitude, analytical skills, and more importantly your passion for the work you want to do if hired. The basic goal is for them to evaluate whether you can independently carry out research projects with minimum supervision. Expect questions from subject matter experts along the lines of "What did YOU specifically do in this project?", "If you hadn't used the xx method for but chosen the yy method what would you expect?" and in my case "I don't think you are too familiar with this research I'm working on but I would like to hear your thoughts on this problem I'm stuck at. Can you use your experience in xx to comment on how you would approach this?"
