Brodie has a B.Sc. from the University of London and a Ph.D. from Emmanuel College, Cambridge and the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge. [2]
After her doctorate at Cambridge, Brodie became a post-doctoral fellow at University of California, Berkeley (1980–82), then a research fellow at Girton College, Cambridge and the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge (1982–84), and returned to UCB as an assistant research astronomer (1984–87). She took up a post of assistant professor/astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1987, and became associate professor/astronomer there in 1991 and professor/astronomer in 1997. [1]
Her main research interests are globular star clusters and galaxy formation. [1]
She founded the international research network Study of the Astrophysics of Globular Clusters in Extragalactic Systems (SAGES), from which developed the SAGES Legacy Unifying Globulars and GalaxieS Survey. [3] Its short name, the SLUGGS Survey, honours the banana slug which is the mascot of UCSC. [1]
She is a collaborator on the Hubble Heritage Project [4] and a member of the International Astronomical Union. [5]
