He is Silver Professor of Philosophy at New York University, where he is chair of the department (having also held the position from 1994 to 2004).

He has held research fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Magdalen College, Oxford, the University of London, and the Australian National University, and is a fellow of the New York Institute for the Humanities.

[7] Boghossian also serves as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for the World Knowledge Dialogue Foundation.

Much of his later work, including his book Fear of Knowledge, criticizes various forms of relativism, especially epistemic relativism, which claims that knowledge and reason are fundamentally cultural or subjective rather than objective.

This paper, in conjunction with an ongoing correspondence between Boghossian and Crispin Wright, is part of a project to defend against epistemic relativism.
