From 1981 to 1983 Curtice was a research fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford.[10][1][11] Curtice was appointed as a lecturer at the University of Liverpool from 1983 to 1988, then a lecturer and senior lecturer at the University of Strathclyde from 1988 to 1997[1] before being promoted to Professor in 1998. Curtice serves as president of the British Polling Council, vice-chair of the Economic and Social Data Service's Advisory Committee and is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Elections, the Executive Committee of the British Politics Section of the American Political Science Association, and the Policy Advisory Committee of the Institute for Public Policy Research.[3] He was formerly a Fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study and a member of the steering committee of the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems project. Curtice has frequently appeared on BBC News during broadcast coverage of general elections in the United Kingdom, giving his predictions of the results in 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2017.[12] With David Firth he developed the methodology used in the exit poll estimation used in the general election coverage.[13] He has picked up a strong following on social media, and was mentioned frequently on Twitter during the 2017 election, though he shuns this attention, adding "I've no wish to become a media celebrity".
I have been a part of Oxford sociology for the last half-century, coming to Oxford in 1970 as a University Lecturer in Sociology. Over the following fifty years my research has ranged widely over many areas, from rational choice theory to electoral behaviour. Most of my research has been based on sample surveys, and I was a very junior member of the team that conducted the landmark 1972 social mobility survey (led by John Goldthorpe and Chelly Halsey at Nuffield College). Subsequently I directed the British Election Surveys of 1983, 1987, 1992 and 1997 (with Roger Jowell and John Curtice) and more recently the 2010 Ethnic Minority British Election Survey (with Steve Fisher, David Sanders, Maria Sobolewska and Gemma Rosenblatt). I have also broadened my range to include field experiments designed to test whether racial discrimination continues to occur in the British labour market. (It does.) I have also worked with various national and international bodies such as UNDP (on social cohesion and trust in Bosnia) and OECD (on the integration of ethnic minorities). Currently I am leading a project for the Social Mobility Commission designing a new measurement framework in order to monitor trends in social mobility and to evaluate the effectiveness of government policy. I am also a member of a task force (for the Office For National Statistics) aimed to improve the collection of equalities data across government and to ensure that ‘everyone counts, and is counted, and no one is forgotten’.
