Jim 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.
