[2] She moved to America for her graduate studies, earning a PhD as a Fulbright Program scholar at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1963.
Her graduate work involved the prediction of chemical shifts in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy under the supervision of Herbert S.
[9] Jameson established the field of 129Xe NMR to study local environments with high sensitivity and fast data acquisition.
[13] She provided the mathematical explanation for the chemical shift and spin-spin coupling observed in NMR spectroscopy of chiral materials.
[14] She contributed to the book Multinuclear NMR, which provided information about the theory and observations in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of various nuclei.
[15] She was the first woman to deliver NMR section Rocky Mountain Conference on Analytical Chemistry Vaughan Lecture in 2000.
[22] Jameson was a member of the Chicago chapter of the American Chemical Society, where she helped to judge the Josiah Willard Gibbs Award from 2006.
