[quote=Anonymous]Do you want to stick to research? If not, then why not try becoming a program director at NSF? You are on "loan" for the first couple of years. Your school does have to cough up a little of your salary from cost-share but they don't have to pay your entire salary. Your grants still go on and you can support your students and supervise your research remotely at (upto) 1/5 time. If the gig works out and there is a long-term slot, you can compete for it. In the meantime, you get to support some cool research, think about new directions and get a different perspective on your own research. BTW, I am hard pressed to figure out why any school would change course assignments every year. I've been academia (as a tenured professor) and around academics and one can always teach the same course for 3 years. Yes, there is the added hassle of TA meetings, advisories, student emails but they go on autopilot after a while.[/quote]
