Where exactly does it say "interaction designer"?. As far as I can see, the job role is "User Researcher" and they make it quite clear what kind of research they will be doing (statistical analysis of some form of analytics). You can debate whether such techniques will lead into something useful or not, but the job posting itself certainly does not look misleading or self-contradictory.
