Hartley worked at the Polytechnic of Wales from 1975 to 1984, initially as a research assistant and tutor, and then as a lecturer in communication and cultural studies. From 1985 to 1995 he held a number of positions at Murdoch University, ranging from lecturer to Director of the Centre for Research in Culture and Communication. In 1990 he received a PhD in communications[3] from Murdoch University. He was a professor at Edith Cowan University from 1995 to 1998.[1][4][5]

From 1996 to 2000 Hartley was Head of the newly created Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies at Cardiff University,[1][6] and Director of its[7] Tom Hopkinson Centre for Media Research.[4][5] In 2000 he received a Doctor of Letters from the University of Wales.[1][2]

In 1998 Hartley founded[8] the International Journal of Cultural Studies, published by Sage Publications Ltd in London.[5][9][10]

In 2014 the Queensland University of Technology announced the John Hartley Oxford Institute Summer Doctoral Programme Scholarship, to allow two students per year for the next five to six years to attend the Oxford Internet Institute's summer doctoral programme. The scholarship is funded in part by "a generous personal gift" from Hartley, matched by funds from the university.[17]
