Curran serves on the editorial boards or as a consulting editor of several prominent journals in the field of psychology, including Multivariate Behavioral Research and Journal of Abnormal Psychology. In 2008, he cofounded Curran–Bauer Analytics, a consulting firm based in Durham, North Carolina. He has taught doctoral-level quantitative workshops to more than 1,000 students and research scientists across six countries.
