[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i have a phd from a top (ivy league) phd program and i nobody i know wanted to be a professor at a slac. this is considered an acceptable option but is nobody's first choice. the best researchers/scientists do not teach at SLACs.[/quote]

Which, in turn may make academia a more accessible/desirable-looking gig to undergrads at SLACs.  Less work/more prestige than other teaching gigs.  Laidback lifestyle.[/quote]

not sure what you are saying - academia is extremely competitive and even faculty positions are lacs are quite competitive. there are many many desperate phds around.

that said, the best of the best are not going to teach at SLACs. as i said that is nobody's first choice.  which means that slac faculty is not the best. i mean, i am sure that they have good teaching materials but the sort of interaction that you can get from the very best minds in the world (literally) is not going to happen at a lsac because those minds are not there.[/quote]
