Roy MacLeod is Professor Emeritus of (Modern) History at the University of Sydney. He was educated in history, the biochemical sciences, and the history of science at Harvard University (summa cum laude); in the sociology of knowledge at the London School of Economics; and in modern history and history of science at Cambridge University, where he took the Ph.D degree in 1967. In 2001, he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Letters by Cambridge, and in 2005, the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and Letters (honoris causa) by the University of Bologna.

In 2003, he was awarded the Centennial of Federation Medal for services to Australian Society, and in 2020, received the Medal of the Order of Australia, for services to Education and History.

Since the 1970s, he has held visiting research and teaching positions in history and the history of science at several institutions, including Indiana University (Bloomington), the Free University (Amsterdam), Harvard, Cambridge (Pembroke College, Clare Hall, and Wolfson College); Oxford (Christ Church, Magdalen, and St. John’s colleges); and Canberra (History of Ideas, ANU). He has taught cultural history at the University of California, Santa Cruz; Idêhistoria at the University of Umeå; university history at the University of Oslo; and the history of science at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris, where he has several times been a directeur d’etudes associé. He has been invited to lecture in India, Korea, China, Singapore, and Japan, and has been a consultant to the Nobel Foundation, the IDP, the ARC, the ADI, the Australian Antarctic Division, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, OECD, and UNESCO. He has held a Fulbright Fellowship and Hon.

In 2008, he returned to the Chemical Heritage Foundation as a Gordon Cain Senior Fellow in Technology, Policy and Entrepreneurship. In 2009, he held a Senior Braudel Fellowship in the History of Culture at the European University Institute in Florence, and in 2010, held the Charles A. Lindbergh Chair at the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.
