Following a brief period as a Research fellow at the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory he was appointed to a lectureship at Keele University in 1989. He was promoted to senior lecturer in 1993 and Professor of Theoretical Physics in 2001. In 2005 Paul moved to the University of Kent to become Head of the School of Physical Sciences.
