Jamie graduated in 2010 from the University of Otago, New Zealand, with a BSc (Hons) in chemistry before completing a PhD at the same institute under the supervision of Prof. James Crowley, investigating metallosupramolecular host architectures as drug delivery vectors. He subsequently took up a position as a postdoctoral research assistant with Prof. Steve Goldup, initially at Queen Mary, University of London and then at the University of Southampton. The award of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship in 2015 allowed him to continue his research on the synthesis of mechanically interlocked molecules in the same group. He began his independent research career as an Imperial College Research Fellow in October 2017. In October 2022 Jamie moved to the University of Birmingham as a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Assistant Professor. In August 2024 Jamie was promoted to Associate Professor.
