  1. Thank you all for your responses. I figured community colleges and small colleges (is there an exact definition of what this is?) was going to be the way to go. I will reach out to the teachers working there. I am optimistic that there is a demand for these types of professors because those who end up getting their PhD with a strong research concentration will find a research heavy position inside or outside of academia before taking a teaching-emphasized position. Although a good point was raised that the college itself will want researchers in order to help get grant money, I imagine these comm colleges and smaller colleges will emphasize this much much less.
  2. Hi all, I recently finished my undergrad in psychology (w/ a focus on social psychology) and loved it. I have prepared a relatively strong CV in accordance to doing research, but it's not longer a primary interest of mine. I want to be able to teach the principles of social psychology or a closely related field one day with as little research responsibilities as possible, but would like more information on that career trajectory. I am assuming I will probably need a phd because of the competition on the job market nowadays, but figure I should focus my attention on programs that allow for a teaching emphasis, as opposed to ones that live by strict research rules. So some questions: 1. What kind of programs should I be looking at? Broadly, specifically? 2. What is the job market like? There seems to be a rise of part-time positions, but how would one securing a full time position? 3. How stable are these full-time positions? 4. What kind of establishments/institutions are these positions at? 5. What are some best positions that I should aim for down the line?
  3. I also have similar questions! Specifically with the POLS program!
