I will be leaving in mid-December to teach/research at the Univ of Iowa. Many programs in information science are adding undergraduate components, but the one at Iowa is still all grad, which makes me happy - generally mature students, with a good share of career changers like myself. I will also coordinate their joint JD/MA program, so we'll see how that goes.
Iowa is a research school so my teaching duties will be limited - 1 class a term for a year, then 2 classes. The rest of the time I do research and your usual school service stuff. I'm really happy about that; I started the doctoral program to learn to do research and that's what I'm gonna be able to do. While most doctoral graduates in my field get a job (unlike English or history), you don't always get the job you want or in the part of the country you want. I'm blessed. I don't think that most people realize that you can't just knock on the door of the college down the street and get a job. It's a nationwide pool and if you want to work you may wind up somewhere you don't really want to live.
I'm looking forward to getting organic veggies delivered from the farm. You can sign up for it and get fresh veggies once a week. That says country to this city girl!
If you told us your previous career, it has escaped me. Is this a big change for you as far as topic?
