He and his co-workers have discovered many of the pulsars known today. Manchester was Leader of the Pulsar - Supernova Remnant Project at CSIRO's Australia Telescope National Facility. Manchester has received a number of awards for his work on pulsars.

Manchester was awarded the following CSIRO medals:

1993 - CSIRO Medal for Research Achievement for the discovery and interpretation of pulsars;

2007 - CSIRO Medal for Lifetime Achievement for a lifetime contribution to the discovery and study of pulsars in the Galaxy with significant leadership, mentoring and inspiration provided to the next generation of astronomers through world-leading pulsar research including the discovery in 2003 of the renowned highly relativistic double-pulsar system (PSR J0737-3039A/B), the first of its kind, and a 'holy grail' of pulsar astronomy that provides unprecedented insights into fundamental physics.
