[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Echoing others here--either adjucting or possibly a position at a university research institute, research professor, etc. Unfortunately, academia, despite its long history of questioning the status quo, is extremely closed minded when it comes to hiring for tenure-track positions.[/quote]

While this is true for tenure track, I am a finalist for a Lecturer full-time position with similar career (20 years work experience).  However, I am well-known to many faculty and the Dean, and have [b]published recently[/b].  I think connections are very important to help them trust you can handle the position and would be a good teacher.  OP, do you know any academics?  Meet them for coffee/lunch/a drink and talk about the field and your interest in it.  See what they think your options might be.[/quote]

PUBLISHED. OP, academics do research and publish as well as teach. You can maybe adjunct teach but your goal of "finishing" your career isn't very academic. [/quote]
