Anderson
Position:
Senior Lecturer
Employer:
University of Southampton, England
Job description:
I am currently a senior lecturer of mathematics, roughly the equivalent
to associate professor. My job includes teaching several courses a
year, various administrative tasks, and research, much like a university
professor in the US.
Job satisfaction:
I very much like my job. The department here is very social, and there
are lots of people who do interesting things and like to talk about
them.
I have recently begun to be more involved in the administrative side
of departmental life, in addition to teaching and research, which
is an interesting change.
Employment history:
After finishing graduate school in the summer of 1991, I spent one
year at MSRI in Berkeley as a postdoctoral fellow, and then three
years at Rice University in Houston, TX, as an Instructor. Then, I
came to Southampton. During that time, I also had an NSF-NATO postdoctoral
fellowship, which I used to visit the University of Warwick during
the summers of 1993 and 1994.
Suggestions for students:
I'm not a good person to say much here, as I've never had a proper
job outside of academia.
Suggestions for improvement:
It's been long enough, that I'm sure it's all very different than
it was when I was there.
Miscellaneous comments:
I think that my undergraduate education prepared me exceptionally
well for the career I find myself in, and I would like to say thanks
to everyone who was a part of it.
