Dear Prabal,
Compiments for joining an exciting speciality like Physiology and as I understand there would be many options especially in academics and reserach.
One of my professional affiliate and someone I know is currently serving as Professor in Libya. I can check possibilities with him and put you in direct contact with him.
As Himadri rightly put and per his experience, it is better to move at the right time especially when you are in senior position.
However it is important that you utilize the current working to the best by undertaking some reserach work, publishing paper in index journals and undertaking some kind of collaborative work with clinical and para clinical departments. Such an exposure and experience would enable you to plunge into different kind of applied teaching which is common nowadays. In fact Applied Physiology is so intricately linked with emergency and internal medicine and it may be worth pursuing experience in this field.
Having a strong foundation and developing a niche area of yours would always make it easy for you.
Hope you find above ideas useful.
Cheers and ciao
Arvind
