Professor Randolph studied Zoology at St Anne's College, Oxford (1967-70) and then completed a PhD at King's College, London on the ecology of rodent ticks.  After holding a Jubilee Post-doctoral Fellowship at Royal Holloway College for one year, in 1974 she took up the post of Departmental Demonstrator (now called Departmental Lecturer) in Vertebrate Zoology in the Department of Zoology in Oxford.

Bound by family responsibilities to Oxford, she has held a series of externally funded Research Fellowships from the Leverhulme Trust, the Royal Society, the Wellcome Trust and the Natural Environment Research Council.  At the same time, she has played a variety of academic roles at St Anne's, Pembroke and New Colleges, and was the first Fellow in Biological Sciences at Oriel College (1994-2000) before joining Christ Church in 2002.  She has recently been made a Fellow of the Royal College of Medicine.
