He serves as Lancaster's Academic Lead for the North West Consortium Doctoral Training Partnership (NWCDTP), supporting PhD studies in arts and humanities across the North West. Additionally, he acts as the Disabilities Representative for the PPR department. His academic journey includes a BPhil from Queen's College Oxford and a PhD in political philosophy from the University of York (2004).

Clark's research focuses on the philosophy of the self, well-being, and welfare, with particular emphasis on autobiography as a methodological tool in ethics. He has published extensively in journals such as Inquiry, Ratio, and Res Publica, and authored Good Lives (Oxford University Press, 2021). His current work explores the intersection of selfhood and welfare through speculative fiction about alien and artificial selves.

He supervises PhD students in areas like the philosophy of work, war ethics, and narrative identity. Clark is affiliated with research groups such as the Centre for War and Diplomacy and the FASS Health Hub.
