Princeton Engineering alumna Lisa Jackson — whom New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine recently appointed as his new chief of staff beginning December 1 — has been tapped to serve on President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team on energy and natural resources.

Jackson, who earned a master’s degree in chemical engineering from Princeton, has served as New Jersey’s Environmental Protection Commissioner since 2006. The Princeton Alumni Weekly profiled Jackson earlier this year.
