So, do you get your fix of mentoring/teaching/research through that; it perhaps through FOSS involvement or ...? Not suggesting you have to, just your comment suggested that was/is your passion.
A few things!
- peer-review for journals and conferences
- a fellowship and guest lectures
- collaborating with my previous co-authors in my own time
- publishing educational content
and you're right, it is something I'm passionate about. The list above is my attempt to stay involved, but I'm not sure how that will work out long term. Hopefully I will find something sustainable.
I'm curious if you can be a professor after the old model, before structured academia, find those willing to learn and do research and continue your passion without the encumbrances (and benefits) of a Uni. That probably depends on your subject area.
