I am on a research and senior management contract at Middlesex University. My roles, within the Department of Psychology, have included Director of Research, Deputy Head of Department, Acting Head of Department, and I currently sit on the Departmental Leadership Team. More broadly within the university I chaired the Professors' Group for two years to July 2023, and do various committee work where required.I teach undergraduates across psychology and natural sciences, focusing upon evolutionary approaches to behaviour. I also run a course on Science in Context for postgraduate research students and supervise a number of MSc and PhD students.

This was an honorary role within the Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science. I contributed to a project on the foundations of evolutionary theory. Previously, with two colleagues, I initiated the formation and foundation of the European Human Behaviour and Evolution Association as a part of this role.

I began in 2003 as a Senior Lecturer in Psychology, moving to Principal Lecturer in 2004 and then Reader in 2008.
