[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Tenured prof at an R2. 'Research experience' as an undergrad can be pretty useless in some fields. We look for very high grades ... [b]Prior teaching experience is a plus.[/b][/quote] Note that R2 universities have a balance of research and teaching. The Ph.D. is a research degree. If you want to stay in the field and get a tenure track position at a research university, then you should choose the best R1 Ph.D. program available. You can move from research to teaching or administration, but it is almost impossible to move in the opposite direction. If you want to become a top chef, get a low-paying job chopping onions after midnight next to Jose Andreas. Then you see him fuse different cuisines into new recipes. You need the analogous experience in your field, working with the masters and thought leaders.[/quote]
