Why do so many PhD students and postdocs look down on teaching-track lectureships?
I’ve noticed that a lot of PhD students and postdocs seem to treat teaching-track lectureships as somehow less prestigious or less meaningful than research-heavy academic jobs. It sometimes feels like academia only values research outputs and treats teaching as a fallback option for people who “couldn’t make it” on the research track.
