Since 1983 she has been researching phylogenetic systematics and historical biogeography. She was Professor and Head of the School of Botany at the University of Melbourne from 1992-2010. In 2014, she continues to be active in the School and is a Professorial Fellow.

Pauline Ladiges has published extensively, including her research in species of Eucalyptus. She is interested in systematic description of new species, the phylogeny and classification of eucalypts, acacias and other large genera, and the biogeography of the Australian flora.

Actively involved in organisations, she has been Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Royal Botanic Gardens of Victoria, past director of Yarra Valley Water Ltd and past member of the Advisory Committee of Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS). In 2014, she is Deputy Chairman of the University of Melbourne School of Botany Foundation, a trustee of the Bjarne K. Dahl Trust, a member of the Hermon Slade Foundation scientific committee and a councillor of the Royal Society of Victoria.
