Prior to taking up the position of Head of School and a Chair in Chemical and Environmental Sciences at Monash, Professor Adeloju was Professor of Chemistry and Environmental Science, as well as the Head of the Penrith Campus of the School of Science, Food and Horticulture within the College of Science, Technology and Environment at the University of Western Sydney (UWS). He was also the Director of the Centre for Electrochemical Research and Analytical Technology at UWS from 1988-2002 and, previous to this, was an Associate Director for the Centre for Chemical and Biological Analysis at Deakin University (1985-87). In addition, he was the Program Leader for the Research Training Concentration in Environmental and Materials Technology at UWS from 2001-2002.

Professor Adeloju has national and international reputation in the areas of biosensing technology, water quality assessment, stormwater management and electroanalytical chemistry. He has published over 200 papers in these areas in journals, books and conference proceedings. He was awarded the Inaugural Chief Executive Officer's Award for Excellence in Research at University of Western Sydney, Nepean in 1990. He was a Visiting Professor in the Department of Analytical and Marine Chemistry at Goteborg University in 1992 and in the Oceanography Laboratories at the University of Liverpool in 1993. He was the recipient of the 1997 Royal Australia Chemical Institute's Citation for outstanding contributions to the profession and the Institute, and the 2001 Eckart Australia Visiting Professor at the University of Tasmania.

Professor Adeloju was a co-Founder and Inaugural Chair of the Western Sydney Section of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) in 1989 and was the Chairman of the Electrochemistry Division of RACI from 1994-1997. He has served on the editorial board and organising committee of several journals and conferences. He has worked on numerous consultancies for local, national and international companies and organisations.
