If Biden truly wins AZ and NV, which seem increasingly likely, and wins MN, WI, MI (which seem likely unless the polls were off by INSANE numbers), he will have 269 EV. Then either ME2 or NE2 would get him to 270. All without PA.

Good PDs and committees look for emotional intelligence, perseverance, maturity as well as a track record of teamwork. That can come in many forms of experience. Research productivity is one metric only.
