   The Public Policy Institute of California (http://www.ppic.org/main/position.asp?i=3099) and RAND (https://web4.rand.org/psp/ps/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_CE.GBL) both have openings. How do these think tank jobs compare to each other and to academic jobs? Do people succesfully move into good tenure track jobs and how's pay?

   Pay's comparable to academia, perhaps a bit lower. Otherwise, it's difficult to move from those places to academia.

   Do they typically not publish in journals - is that the reason?

   Not that they don't; they just do less of it, and usually in lesser quality journals.

   Not to mention -- no teaching record. It's hard to make the case that someone should be hired with tenure if you have no idea how they are at teaching.

   I thought there were teaching opportunities at RAND. Anyway, I was thinking more along the lines of 2-4 years and then move on. Hired with tenure would then not be realistic.

   A number of people from PPIC have gone to academia, including tenure track APs at UC Irvine, UC Davis, U of Maryland and Kentucky to name a few.
