From 1984, he worked at the university's Emmanuel College, first as a research fellow and, from 1986, as an official fellow. In 1998, he accepted as position at the University of Reading which he held until 2007. He then returned to Cambridge to succeed Michael Reeve as the Kennedy Professor of Latin.[4]
