I'm interested in a faculty position at a PhD-granting university. Currently I've done two postdocs. I had to leave the first postdoc (2 yrs) because it was taking too long to publish and my contract wasn't renewed during my second postdoc (1 yr) due to the lack of funding. Unfortunately, both postdocs yielded no 1st-author publications but I have a total of 2-3 publications from them. So my question is what are my odds of acquiring a faculty position if I do a 3rd postdoc and acquire some 1st-author publications? I feel that there are too many strikes against me right now, but at the same time, I'm still very interested weathering another postdoc to expand my skill set, publish, and acquire a faculty position.
