Early life

Martin Kilduff grew up in the Camden Town area of London, England. He attended Primrose Hill primary school followed by Quintin grammar school. His higher education was pursued in the U.S. He received his BA and MBA from Washington State University and his MS and PhD from Cornell University.

Career

Kilduff was an assistant professor of Organizational Behavior at INSEAD, professor of management at Pennsylvania State University, the Kleberg/King Ranch Centennial Professor of Management at the University of Texas at Austin, and the Diageo Professor of Management Studies at the University of Cambridge. He is a professor of management at the UCL School of Management.

Kilduff was editor of Academy of Management Review. He is now associate editor of Administrative Science Quarterly. His research focuses on social networks and includes the co-authored books Social Networks and Organizations (Sage: 2003); and Interpersonal networks in organizations: Cognition, personality, dynamics and culture (Cambridge University Press: 2008). His research relates personality to network structure (e.g., Journal of Applied Psychology, 2008), perceived networks to actual networks (e.g., Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 2008), and proposes new theory concerning scientific innovation (e.g., Academy of Management Review, 2011).
