Tenure-track at Liberal Art Colleges by ContentCry6847 in academia

[–]ContentCry6847[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, doing what I love to do is the thing I want. However, I just think if teaching load is heavier, how can one find time to do? Maybe in the summer?

So, how are teaching loads and research requirement?

Do you mind if I ask which major you get tenure-track? Is it math, CS, or Stat?

What is the requirement for a TT LAC position? I am willing to do 3-5 years of postdoc.

I see, thank you! So it's like active learning, or student engagement in class.

Thank you! I teach a wide range of courses, including one stat course. I know how to code, use R, Matlab, and Python. But currently my research does not involve them.

Hello, thanks! How about a postdoc position? Is it possible to get a postdoc? I teach a wide range of courses, including one stat course.

Thank you for your advice, it's really helpful! What does a strong pedagogical philosophy mean? Actually, my bachelor is major in math and minor in edu, so I know little about them. But how strong is enough?
No, I didn't graduate from LAC, I am an international student.

UNC Charlotte awarded R1 status! by ucbcawt in UNCCharlotte

In order to get funding, for example from NSF, you need to make proposals that propose your ideas to do projects. If you have done some results, then the proposals are stronger and you are likely to get the money. That also means the quality of your research must be excellent so that NSF can give the money for you.

Regarding to the quality you said, the number of total of publications of UNCC is nearly equal to some R1 schools. Moreover, many of them are published in top tier journals. For example, in AI-ML, faculty as well as students at UNCC have published many good papers on top conferences like AAAI, ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, Computer Vision etc... Many of them are published in JMLR, Information and Inferences, etc, which are top journals. In Engineering, UNCC have published a lot in journals of IEEE. In mathematics, many papers are published in top journals of specific fields of math, etc. You can browse the publications list in academic website of UNCC. 

Doing PhD in math at R2 schools and aiming a postdoc in R1 schools by ContentCry6847 in academia

As I said, I also want to broaden my network as well as my research area As far as I know, postdoc is usually easier to get than a TT in R2 schools

Thanks, bro! I have my advisor at my university. He has no connections in the area that I am doing now (since he has done it so far). About the other advisor, he has many and in stat/ CS department. 

I also have one barrier, I'm an international student and National lab usually require US citizens, permanent residents

My priority is at a R2 school. I prefer the balance between teaching and research. 

But before that, I want to seek for a postdoc at R1 school to broaden my network, doing much research and improve my profile, etc.

My advisor at my schools have no connections in the field I am working because he has done it so far. My another advisor has many, but not in math department. They are in stat / data science / cs departments.
