Thanks for your input so far.

A few more questions - If I apply for a faculty spot at a school that I applied to in Undergrad, and I know the professors there (I went for a summer camp, and still keep in touch with the professors), does that work in my favor? I have a feeling they won’t likely remember me.

Also, what exactly does post-doctoral fellowships entail? Could you do teaching and research at the same time as this? Is it necessary?

Finally, how hard exactly is it to apply for a faculty position at this particular school? Any tips or advice? Thanks as always :)
