I had a first round screening interview, then an in-person interview with the search committee, campus partners, and unit leadership, including my potential supervisor. After meeting with the supervisor, she asked to check references, and I said yes, but they never actually contacted them. She emailed me a few weeks later asking to chat. I set up a time, but she never called. I followed up two business days later, but never heard back from them again.
