He worked as a lecturer at University of Jos for a year, before moving to the Freshwater Biological Association's laboratory at Windermere where he was based from 1978 to 2003.[1] Many of his research studies were conducted at the nearby pond of Priest Pot in the Lake District.[3] He then worked at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology from 2003 to 2007.[1] In 2007 he was appointed Professor of Microbial Ecology, Queen Mary, University of London, before retiring in 2012.[4] His research focused on the ecology and physiology of single celled eukaryotic microbes (protists), particularly those from low-oxygen habitats.[2]
