Hey there,
As an incoming master's student this fall (not in the US) I'm interested in getting to know about the things required to be a tenure track professor in education in the United States. I know that publications matter, but how many papers does a PhD student in education typically publish during the program? Do a lot of PhDs go on to do postdoc? If so, approximately how many years of postdoc does someone who go on to becoming a tenure track professor do? How do you know your papers are good enough to be considered for such position (publishing dozens in shitty journals vs publishing 2 or 3 in top journals) in education specifically? How do these standards differ by the tiers of the universities that you're hoping to become a professor in?
I come from a natural science discipline for my bachelor's degree and it feels like these things are completely different for education, and I thought it'd be a good idea to get used to how things work in this area. Thanks!
