One of interesting things moving into a uni with significant professional practice and creative practice areas, supporting staff coming in from other careers (not trad academic route) or still in them, is seeing the parallels with research in many ways (including nexus here) but no uni time for it.
I remember being asked about “research-led teaching” in an interview for a full-time teaching-only job, and I really had to stop myself from saying “but you won’t be paying me to do any research!”
