Revision as of 22:32, 4 February 2010

I submit for your consideration my application for tenure at the rank of Associate Research Professor in the Physics program of the College of Arts and Sciences at Idaho State University.

I joined the Physics program at ISU as an Research Associate Professor of Physics on August 14, 2006. The university's expectations for my position were clearly described in my offer letter which I have included in this application. As described in my offer letter, a research professor is expected to spend 60% of their time on research, 20% on teaching, and 20% on service. The research expectation was that I attract approximately $150,000 in external funds in the first 5 years and publish 2 peer reviewed works per year. I was also expected to teach one, three credit graduate level class per semester, advise graduate students and develop curricula to enhance ISU's offerings in nuclear science. My accomplishments in each of these endeavors is summarized below and the specific details are organized in separate sections.

My research activities at ISU have resulted a series of external grant totaling $1.4 Million, the creation of a Laboratory for Detector Science, and research program in nuclear physics based at Jefferson Lab and the Idaho Accelerator Center.


My teaching activities at ISU have focused on graduate student instruction and advising as well as developing three new classes for the graduate curricula.

My service acitivities at ISU have been in the form of a GFR, a member of the Engineering Graduate ???, and a Faculty Senator.
