Tolkien's first job was as a lexicographer on the New English Dictionary (helping to draft the Oxford English Dictionary).

Tolkien then became a professor in English Language at the University of Leeds, where he collaborated with E. V. Gordon on the famous edition of 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'.

Tolkien remained at Leeds until 1925, when he took a position teaching Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University. Tolkien spent the rest of his career at Oxford, retiring in 1959.
