3/11/08: Faculty Position at University of Iowa
I have accepted a Plasma Theory faculty position in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Iowa . I am currently gearing up to establish my research program there and will begin teaching their graduate plasma physics courses this coming Fall semsester in August. The University of Iowa is a research university with a top ten plasma physics program and, as the home of James Van Allen, has a long and storied history of ground-breaking space physics research.
