Hello, I am in Kinda of an odd position. I graduated with my PhD and I did two years of postdoc in the US but now I’m in a different country. I moved to start a family. Anyways, I landed a teaching position here and I am wondering if I should pursue research and publications if I eventually want to go back to the US?
My actual field does not exist here so it would be in a closely related field. I just don’t know if having international publications would count as much when I do go back to the US
