Real Jobs

After completing postdoctoral stints in the San Francisco area, the Sutherlands were poised to take on academic appointments, “real jobs,” as John puts it. As before, they looked for positions that allow them to be at least in the same city. Their search brought them to southern California.

John joined the lab of Philip J. Stephens in the University of Southern California, Department of Chemistry as a research associate. Betsy landed an academic appointment at the University of California, Irvine, Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry in 1972. John’s academic appointment soon followed. In 1973, John joined the Department of Physiology and Biophysics in the College of Medicine of the University of California, Irvine. 

Betsy and John rose through the professorial ranks until they decided to move back East.
