Mudde was a visiting scholar at the Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics and visiting associate professor in the political science department at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana.[4] From 1999 to 2002, he was an assistant professor at the University of Edinburgh, and from 2002 to 2010 he was an assistant and later associate professor at the University of Antwerp in Belgium. Since 2010, he has been teaching a first-year seminar on the Radical Right movement in Europe at DePauw University. He is an associate professor of Political Science at the University of Georgia's School of Public and International Affairs.[5] He is also an adjunct professor at the Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX) at the University of Oslo.[6]

He is a board member of the IPSA (International Political Science Association) Committee on Concepts and Methods and serves on the editorial boards of academic journals such as Acta Politica, Democracy and Security, Patterns of Prejudice, Politics in Central Europe, and The Journal of Politics. In 2008, Mudde was awarded the Stein Rokkan Prize for Comparative Social Science Research.[1] In 2022, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[7]

Mudde is the author of several books and articles.
