==Career==
After a period as a lecturer at Cambridge, Raven moved to the University of Dundee in 1971, and he remained at Dundee until his formal retirement in 2008. He was appointed there to a [[Chair (academic)#The United Kingdom.2C Ireland and other English speaking countries|personal chair]] in 1980, and was the John Boyd Baxter Professor of Biology from 1995 until 2008.<ref name="symposium">{{cite web |url=http://www.dundee.ac.uk/pressreleases/2008/prsept08/johnraven.html |title=Symposium to mark retiral of Professor John Raven |date=11 September 2008
==Research==
Raven's research investigates [[algae|algal life forms]] in the upper levels of the ocean, which underpin [[marine ecosystem]]s and [[Carbon cycle|recycle carbon]].
