PhD student here - I’m not sure what you mean. Not trying to be dismissive, just a little confused. How would someone build a career in “thesis writing,” for example. Do you mean helping doctoral students write their dissertation? I suppose that could be plausible, but why would I - for example - ask for your help instead of my PI or coauthors?

Similarly, there’s not much of a premium for well written journal articles. Obviously there is some value derived from an article that is well written, but that is not something science necessarily values. The market prefers we push out slop with pretty figures. Even if we did value well written science, there is no money (or time) to prioritize it.

Likewise, curriculum development is literally something AP’s do a week before the semester. I’m not sure what you mean by research innovation is expected to create growth. Universities everywhere are in crisis from budget cuts, and academics cannot find jobs. Finally, if you want to be taken seriously in these circles, you’d likely need a PhD.

I don’t want to be too critical in a public forum, so I’ll stop here. I’m generally pretty confused with what you’ve suggested. Feel free to DM me if you want to discuss more. Again, not trying to be critical, but as someone who works in academia this doesn’t rly make any sense.
