In 1977, he was appointed to the MRC Reproductive Biology Unit, Edinburgh, to establish a research group in gamete biology. He remained in this position until 1998 when he moved to the University of Newcastle, NSW, as Chair of Biological Sciences and, later, Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Biotechnology and Development. John has been the recipient of an ScD degree from the University of Cambridge and an Honorary Professorship from the University of Edinburgh.
