Paul Anderson qualified with a BA (Hons) in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge in 1987. He went on to study for a PhD in Chemistry before joining the Department of Organic, Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry at Cambridge as a post-doctoral research fellow in 1990. In 1993 he was awarded prestigious Ramsay Memorial and Royal Society University Research Fellowships, taking up the latter in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham, becoming Lecturer in 2001, Senior Lecturer in 2006 and Reader in 2009.
