After her Ph.D. Dr. Jackson was a Research Associate and John Hope Franklin Postdoctoral Fellow in the Mathematics at Duke University. Currently, she and her husband Patrick Nelson are on the faculty of the Mathemtics Department of the University of Michigan. From 1999 to 2000, she held a John Hope Franklin Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Mathematics and Computation in the Life Sciences and Medicine, Duke University. Most recently, Dr. Jackson has been awarded the Afred P. Sloan Fellowship, she is the third African American Mathematician to do so. From 2000 to 2003 she was Assistant Professor of Mathematics at U. Michigan, she was promoted to Associate in 2003. We remark that her invited lecture in 2003 at CAARMS9 at Purdue University was first rate.
