Changed the title to be more inclusive of early career (as opposed to young) lecturers.

The teacher's purpose is not to present himself and his achievements but to be able to teach something. It's about empathy and a willingness to learn how to learn. It is also necessary to consider that students do not remember everything in the long term. It is better to give them a less so that they remember it, and if they are interested, they can build on it themselves. | |

| Feb 28 at 16:43 | comment | added | penelope | Also you may want to change the title of your question from "young lecturer" to an "early career lecturer". I don't think there's much specific about your age in the question; rather it's about your career stage. I currently have a 55yo PhD student who might be in exactly your situation in 4 years time, and the answers would apply to them despite them only being young at heart but not the body ;) | |

Fellowships are usually quite prestigious and rare, therefore it's only a small fraction of researchers that secures them successfully. I would say that even hiring into academic post straight after PhD is more common than getting a fellowship. In fact, I would say that you are at your most attractive professionally at around 2-3 year mark of your postdoc (much longer than that and they start wondering why no permanent post yet) | |
