Outstanding Dr. TC, glad you are able to right into a tenure-track position. I would imagine there are not many math PH.D.s awarded each year across the country, and very, very few awarded to women. You are joining a very, very select club. When will you actually receive the degree???

For the sake of clarification, my position isn't a tenure track but does have promotion capabilities. It is, however, a faculty, professor position (with promotion capabilities), not a post doc. (There's nothing wrong with post docs - they are awesome - I'm just trying to clarify here).

They'll mail the diploma in the middle of June. I'm not doing graduation as I want to get back to Maine.

Thank you for the kind words.

Ah, I see. I guess the academic world has sub-divided into teaching profs and research profs??? In any case, sounds like an excellent job.

This brings back trauma memories.

Psychology

Nice. What was your dissertation topic? I've heard psych people tend to study what they suffer from :-) is that true for you?
What do you do for work?

lol. No, I didn't do mine on any of my many dysfunctional tendencies. I (along with another grad student) developed and field tested an evaluation protocol for assessing inter-agency systems that address child abuse.
Currently, I'm the director of a program that serves people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I also have a small therapy practice

Congrats!!!
I have to laugh that you're going from black / orange OSU to black / orange OSU
You're amazing.
I'm down in Texas. If I get up your way, we'll go for a run :)

I know! Not sure if Pistol Pete or a beaver is a better mascot.


Thanks and I would love that!!!

Mazel tov, Dr. Tigerchick, and welcome to the club.
I hope your position in Oklahoma works out well (or, alternatively, that you move on quickly).
I was in a teaching, non-tenure-track position for years. They have their odd little set of advantages, even if salary and job security are not among them.

thanks - I am super excited about the job.
What's your field?

History. 18th century, mostly Europe.

Huge Congrats! Being a professor at a major university is an impressive accomplishment. A PhD is not fun, but it makes the challenges that follow a lot easier.

The first time man split the atom was when the atom tried to hold Jens Voigt's wheel, but cracked.

Chemistry, sheesh! I hated chem. (People probably tell you this a lot, like they tell me they are not good at math). In maths when I do something wrong I just get a new piece of paper. In chem there was a lot of cleaning equipment to start the experiment over - more work to start over, I guess.
