He served as an associate editor of the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization and the International Journal of Industrial Organization, and as an editorial board member of the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics, in addition to holding several other editorial appointments. Prior to his current appointment at MSU, Thomas has held faculty positions at Royal Holloway College, University of London, and Texas A&M, as well as shorter appointments at Duke, Johns Hopkins, and Georgetown universities, and at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany.
