Well, I've been waiting a long time to be able to say this, but now I can. I got the job that I was going for! I will be running the facility for the new magnet at UCHSC. It's a great opportunity and I am really excited with the prospect of building it from the ground up. I have a lot of great ideas that I want to pursue, but at first it's going to be a lot of work getting things going. It means a permanent job (i.e. one that does not have a set end date) for me though for the very first time. I feel all grown up. I'm sure I'll be posting more as things go on, for now I'll end with a quote from the Tick that seems fitting given my new job.
Tick: Arthur, you have no historical perspective. Science in those days worked in broad strokes. They got right to the point. Nowadays, it's all just molecule, molecule, molecule. Nothing ever happens big.
i am so very happy for you!!!!!! congrats geoff!!!
ReplyDeleteyeah for you! so where's UCHSC? sorry to be ignorant.
ReplyDeleteBig congrats Geoff! This sounds like quite the awesome job!
ReplyDeleteSorry I suppose I should have been more specific. UCHSC is the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center where I work now. But technically this position is at University of Colorado at Boulder even though the magnet is physically located at UCHSC.
