Hello everyone. I am an international employee currently working as a postdoc (Microbiology) in the USA, and I am about to transition to the next step of my career. Although everyone I have asked advises me to pursue a tenure-track research faculty position, I do not want to do research.
Instead, I enjoy teaching and writing. I have been writing for various SciComm and medical writing platforms, as well as designing my own courses and teaching small cohorts of high school and undergraduate students. I truly love teaching.
Unfortunately, no one I have spoken with has been able to advise me on how to transition from a postdoc to a teaching-focused faculty position. Can anyone advise if I can (and should) pursue a career in teaching? If so, how should I prepare myself?
