collaborating with Dr
Colin Willmer. I gave lectures on ion transport in
plants to 2nd year students.
1984 (1) Scientific Officer at the N.S.W. State Pollution Control Commission
(SPCC) from April to July. (2) Part-time lecturer at the Tasmanian
College of Advanced Education, teaching a course on growing marine
microalgae, which was part of an Associate Diploma in Applied Science
(September through November). Responsible for the course content,
practicals and examination of the students.
1985 to 1987. Post-Doctoral Associate collaborating with Prof Jane Gibson
(Cornell University, NY, USA). Investigated the biophysics of the bluegreen alga SynechococcusR-2. Gave a Cornell Plant Sciences Seminar
on my PhD work. Published six papers based on my work.
1988 to 1989. Research Associate in the Botany Department of the
University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, B.C., Canada. I
have published a paper based upon some of my joint work while at
UBC (Kafkafi et al., 1992). Recently I published a single authored
paper on 13N tracer work done at UBC (Ritchie 2006) using more
modern statistical fitting methods than were available when the
experimental work was done.

1993 to 1998. Held an Australian Research Fellow (ARF) working on the
mineral nutrition of blue-green algae. During 1994 I taught a 3rd year
course on Marine Botany. I was responsible for lectures on blue-green
algae, green algae, brown algae and some physiology lectures. I was
responsible for about one half of the practical classes. All of the work done
during this ARF fellowship has now been published (10 papers).
1999 Jan – June 2002. Lecturer in Plant Biology, University of Western
Sydney. I taught First Year Biology, Second Year Biology, Economic
Botany (Botany & Taxonomy) , 2nd year Biochemistry and 3rd year Plant
Physiology, 3rd year Environmental Biology and parts of 3rd year
Environmental Microbiology.
2004 July – December. Casual lecturer for 2nd year plant physiology course at
the University of Sydney (BIOL2003). Responsible for about one half of
all the lectures and all the practical classes.
2007 March – May. Casual lecturer for 1st year plant course at the University
of Western Sydney. Responsible for about one half of all the lectures.
2009 February to present. Serving on a jury at the Supreme Court of NSW.
2009 7 April. Won an Endeavour Executive Award to visit Thailand for four
months to teach techniques in measuring photosynthetic stress in plants.
Will take up post in October 2009.
