Between 1982 - 1986 Osborne was a Junior Unofficial Fellow at King's College, Cambridge. In 1986 he moved to Oxford University, initially as a three year fixed term Fellow at Magdalen College, Oxford before in 1989 being appointed a University Lecturer in Ancient History and a Fellow of Corpus Christi College.

In 2001 Osborne returned to Cambridge to take up the position of Professor of Ancient History and was appointed a Fellow of King's College. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2006.
