In 1999, Bullmore joined the University of Cambridge as Professor of Psychiatry.[2] At college level, he was an elected Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge between 2002 and 2010.[1] On 9 October 2014, he was appointed Head of the Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge.[4]
In 2005, he joined GlaxoSmithKline as Vice-President of Experimental Medicine.[1] From 2005 to 2013, he was also Head of its Clinical Unit based in Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, which focuses on early clinical drug development projects.[1][5] Since 2013 he has been Vice-President of Immuno-psychiatry.[6]
