Hawker received his B.Sc. degree and University Medal in chemistry from the University of Queensland in 1984 and a Ph.D. in bioorganic chemistry from the University of Cambridge in 1988 under the supervision of Professor Sir Alan R. Battersby. Jumping into the world of polymer chemistry, he undertook a post-doctoral fellowship with Professor Jean Fréchet at Cornell University from 1988 to 1990 and then returned to the University of Queensland as a Queen Elizabeth II Fellow from 1991 to 1993. In 1993 he joined the IBM Almaden Research Center and was recently awarded the 2000 Young Scientists Award from IUPAC, the 2001 Carl S. Marvel Award in Creative Polymer Science by the American Chemical Society, and the 2003 Cooperative Research Award from the American Chemical Society with Professor Tom Russell. He was elected fellow of the Royal Society on May 20, 2010.
Hawker is editor of the Journal of Polymer Science Part A: Polymer Chemistry, and serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of Intezyne, Symyx Technologies, Microbar Systems, and Warwick Effect Polymers. He is Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at the University of Queensland
