In academia, your Resume/CV is basically a list of what you have published.

Even if you are an awesome teacher, you are going to be required to continue publishing a minimum amount every few years and you will be hired based on what you published.

Sorry, but that's just academia. If you want to teach without doing research, then maybe look at Community Colleges, High Schools, or getting a job at a corporate job and being an Adjunct Professor for 1-2 classes a semester.

There are also smaller (typically private) colleges and universities that heavily focus on their undergrad programs. The Jesuits seem to lean into this style with both Santa Clara U. in the Bay Area and Loyola Marymount U. in LA falling into this pile. Research at these institutions definitely ends up taking a secondary role.
