McLuckey did his undergraduate studies at Westminster College, Pennsylvania, earning a B.S. in 1978. He received his Ph.D. in 1982 from Purdue University. After a year of postdoctoral studies in Amsterdam, McLuckey joined the research staff of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he remained until 2000 when he moved to Purdue.[1] He became the Leighty professor in 2008.[2] Since 1998 he has been editor of the International Journal of Mass Spectrometry.[3] From 2010 to 2012 he was president of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry.[4]

In 1997, he was the first recipient of the Biemann Medal awarded by the American Society for Mass Spectrometry for his contributions to mass spectrometry.[5] He was named scientist of the year at Oak Ridge in 1999.[1] In 2000, he received the Curt Brunnée Award of the International Mass Spectrometry Society, given annually to a researcher under the age of 45.[6] He received the 2007 Award in Chemical Instrumentation of the American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry,[7] and the Anachem Award in 2008 from the National Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy.[8] He also received the 2008 Herbert Newby McCoy Award for outstanding contributions to science from Purdue.[1]
