I had a campus visit in an university last week in 21 March. In the interview, the chair of the committee said I should hear back from him in one week, but so far there is no news from him.
But three days after the interview, I received an email from the chair professor (not the chair of the committee) saying that: "The end result is we have two excellent candidates, but we’re just not sure whether we have one or two positions (was originally the former, but now some possibility it could be the latter). Hopefully this will be resolved soon and you’ll hear the outcome from the XXX(the chair of the committee). What does this mean? Do it mean they are requesting a second position to me? or they are just negotiating with the first ranked candidate?
Thank you!
