Charlton has recently been appointed a Teaching and Research Academic at Monash University in February 2024. Prior to this, Charlton was a Teaching Focused Academic at Victoria University. Outside of academia, Charlton has been an Ahpra Registered Ambulance Paramedic for Ambulance Victoria since 2017. Additionally, he is a formally-trained graphic designer and utilises these skills for both visual branding and form design on academic projects.

Charlton's research interests lie within the realms of paramedicine, paramedic well-being, higher education, shift work, chronobiology, occupational safety, fatigue management and accessible design.

Current projects Charlton is working on include:

• Project ASAP (Assessing the Impact of shift work in Australian Paramedics)
• Australian Paramedic Professional Capabilities Assessment Tool (an evicence-based clinical placement assessment tool for paramedic students)
• Autism Suicide Prevention Resource Hub (an Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre-initiated resource hub for primary healthcare providers in suicide prevention for autistic populations)

Charlton identifies as a neurodiverse, queer, person of colour and is especially keen to collaborate with other students and academics who identify similarly.
