Ewens received a B.A. (1958) and M.A. (1960) in Mathematical Statistics from the University of Melbourne, where he was a resident student at Trinity College,[2] and a Ph.D. from the Australian National University (1963) under P. A. P. Moran. He first joined the department of biology at the University of Pennsylvania in 1972, and in 2006 was named the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Biology. Positions held include:
1967–1972 Foundation Chair and Professor of Mathematics at La Trobe University
1972–1977 Professor of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania
1978–1996 Chair and Professor of Mathematics at Monash University
1997– Professor of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania
