Much of her career was as an independent scholar, outside the confines of academia. For four years she was Editorial Assistant of the Australian dictionary of biography project, being of material help to the chairman of the National Committee, W. K. Hancock, in establishing the framework for the project. In 1962 she published an innovative bibliography of the history of Australian science, with a supplement in 1964. Between 1962 and 1965 she was Research Associate jointly of the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian National University Research School of Social Sciences, preparing the ground-breaking A guide to the manuscript records of Australian science (1966). Later positions included as Senior Lecturer in the History of Science at the New South Wales Institute of Technology and Foundation Director of the Science Policy Research Centre, Griffith University. Moyal published (including as Ann Mozley Moyal and Ann Mozley) over a wide range of subjects including atomic energy, telecommunications, geology, nineteenth-century Australian scientists, the iconic Australian indigenous animals the platypus and the koala, autobiographical volumes, and a biography of her husband, mathematician Jose Moyal. She was editor of Search, the magazine of the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science, and of Prometheus Her last paper was published posthumously in 2019. In addition she recorded over 30 interviews, mainly of scientists, for the National Library of Australia. The Royal Society of New South Wales awarded her its inaugural History and Philosophy of Science Medal in 2014. The National Library of Australia hosts the annual Ann Moyal Lectures, given by distinguished speakers on a contemporary question that draws on such fields of knowledge as science, environment, ecology, history, anthropology, art, and technology.
