He is a British academic and Research Fellow in the Centre for Health and International Relations (CHAIR), Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University. Dr Rushton is currently part of a four year European Research Council-funded research project entitled 'Transformation of Global Health Governance: Competing World Views and Crises'.
