...mass spectrometerists are something of a rare breed, at least in the context of protein dynamics, which is the area in which Dr. Jones works. I just called up a few of her papers. I wasn't familiar with this oxidative approach to protein conformation, so this news item expanded my brain.

She'll have an excellent career wherever she goes or if she stays where she is, and may end up, at some point with an endowed chair somewhere.

I can't imagine why a Pulitizer Prise winner can be denied tenure. The only possible reason is racism.
