New book helps early career faculty navigate tenure

Dr. Sundar A. Christopher, dean of the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) and a professor in the Department of Atmospheric Science, recently published his second book, "Navigating Tenure and Beyond: A Guide for Early Career Faculty," with the American Meteorological Society.

An academic early career guide, the book covers various topics including "how to reach tenure through service, research, and teaching while empowering your graduate students and maintaining balance between your career and personal life," says Dr. Christopher, who is also the author of "Navigating Graduate School and Beyond: A Career Guide for Graduate Students and a Must Read For Every Advisor," published by the American Geophysical Union.

Dr. Christopher received his Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences from Colorado State University in 1995. He has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and is actively involved in research related to the impact of aerosols and clouds on climate and air quality.
