I have always been curious about animals. A levels in Chemistry, Biology and Physics. BA in Zoology, St. Catherine's College, Oxford. 25 years of working with computers from PDP11s to Silicon Graphics O2. Never really stops.
Most people do a few years post doctoral before their first permanent job at lecturer level.
Then Senior Lectureship in Perth, Western Australia. Check my e-mail, meet with my postgrad students to see how they are going, advise them on what to do next. See the manager of the Image Acquisition and Analysis Facility to discuss ongoing projects, meet with clients and discuss their imaging needs and experimental design to work in the Image Acquisition and Analysis Facility. Departmental meetings to discuss anything from curriculum changes to fund raising for the department. Edit papers that I am submitting or joint authoring with students or colleagues.
