No, sorry.
You will need a lot more experience to be competitive for a reserve job instructing. Many guard and reserve students going through UPT already had 3000 hours flying for regionals and such, and that is just to join the unit as a copilot. Reservists doing primary instruction are all very senior.
Doss aviation is a civilian program in Colorado that performs flight introduction and screening for the AF. I think they are hiring, and it would give you an opportunity to build experience and network.
But the short answer to your question, is that the reverse transfer is not a very good one. Sorry.
