More details to this question:
Hi, I have been living abroad for 5 years and I am considering renouncing my US citizenship. What would happen if years down the road I would want to go back to the US (and work there; I am a university professor)? Would I be able to receive a work permit or green card, if not US citizenship (again)? (I am not sure this makes any difference, but my wife would not give up her US citizenship.)

If you renounce U.S. citizenship, you would need to obtain the appropriate immigrant or nonimmigrant visa to return to the country. You could automatically acquire citizenship again. You would be on par with all other non-citizens.
