 * It is indeed a counterintuitive job portal; I was able to register, but then unable to save the information I entered.  In other words, everyone, don't log in to apply until everything is totally ready to go.  In your case, I hate to suggest the obvious, but have you checked your spam folder?  My verification email originally ended up in there.  If that doesn't solve the problem, you might consider sending an email to the department chair.
 * I had issues with their online system as well. I had to register using a Gmail address not an Outlook address because of the verification issue.

 * Could you please be more specific about what this means? Does "follow-up interviews" mean that you have progressed to the next stage of the hiring process, or is it related to the difficulties with the application system?  In any event, thank you for being willing to post here and keep those of us with a vested interest as informed as possible.
 * [8 Oct]: We have progressed to the next stage of the hiring process.  Will try to keep everyone informed as the process goes forward.
