Teaching Postdoc?

[Wondering]

I've just been offered a fair-paying teaching postdoc at a major research institution. The teaching load is on the lighter side (2-1) and there is room to do some of my own research. I currently don't have any other opportunities, so I will take this one if nothing else comes through.

But does anyone have a sense of whether taking one of these will hurt my chances on next year's job market, or have the rules changed since jobs are now so scarce?

Why would it hurt your chances?

[anon1]

Of course not. It may even help if you make some new connections.

this will probably only help your chances on the market, especially if you don't have a lot of teaching experience so far, but even if you do- a 2-1 is pretty much the rock bottom of teaching loads, so you'll have time to do the job market itself and get some of your dissertation out for publication, plus you'll have your phd in hand next time on the market (if you don't already), which also makes a big difference. And the postdoc itself will be prestigious, especially if it's at a major university.

I think most people on the market who got a job this year did some kind of a postdoc before getting a job.
