After being awarded the PhD in 2004, I worked for one year as a Research Associate on the EC-funded project
EU-RECA (on the concept of research and the ethical regulation of research activities) coordinated by John Harris at the
Centre for Social Ethics and Policy at the
University of Manchester. During that time, I was also Honorary Lecturer in Bioethics at the Centre.
Next I joined the
University of Birmingham, where I was Lecturer (2005-2008), Senior Lecturer (2008-2011), and Reader in Philosophy (2011-2013). I am now Professor of Philosophy, affiliated both with the Philosophy Department in the College of Arts and Law, and the Institute for Mental Health in the College of Life and Environmental Sciences.
