From 1942 until 1976 he studied and worked at the University of Oxford, mostly with the Animal Behaviour Research Group. In 1975 when the Chair of Animal Behaviour at Oxford became available most expected Cullen to be appointed to the position. However, he was overlooked, but the following year was appointed Chair of Zoology at Australia's Monash University. Cullen took on his duties with gusto and even found time to work on his own projects, which included the research and conservation of Victoria's Little Penguins especially at Phillip Island and St Kilda. He was eventually appointed Emeritus Professor of Zoology at Monash but his life was cut short when he was killed in a car accident on his way to work. 1956 1968 Career position - Zoologist with the Animal Behaviour Group, Oxford University, UK c. 1968 1975 Career position - Lecturer in Experimental Psychology and Fellow of Wadham College, Oxford University 1976 1988 Career position - Member of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union Field Investigation Committee 1976 1992 Career position - Professor and Chair of Zoology, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria 1979 1985 Career position - Supervised studies of distribution and breeding of Abbott's Booby on Christmas Island 1980 Career position - Member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Phillip Island Penguin Reserve 1980 1999 Career position - Chair of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Phillip Island Penguin Reserve 1983 1984 Career position - Secretary, Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union, Victorian branch 1985 1999 Career position - Member of the Phillip Island Nature Park Board of Management
