Lodge is a 1975 graduate of Sewanee Academy (now St. Andrew's-Sewanee School) and received his B.S., summa cum laude, in 1979 from Sewanee: The University of the South. As a Rhodes Scholar, he completed his D.Phil. from Oxford University in 1982. From 1983-1985, he taught at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. From 1985-2016, he served on the faculty of the University of Notre Dame as a professor of biology, the director of the Notre Dame Center for Aquatic Conservation, and the director of the Notre Dame Environmental Change Initiative. From 2011-2016, Lodge was the Ludmilla F., Stephen J., and Robert T. Galla Professor of Biological Sciences. Since May 2016, Lodge has been a member of the faculty of Cornell University where he holds the Francis J. DiSalvo Directorship of the David R. Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future.[1]

Lodge is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the Ecological Society of America.[2] He advocates for scientific approaches to manage invasive species in lake ecosystems.[3][4][5][6] In 2014, Lodge served as a Jefferson Science fellow in the Office of Ocean and Polar Affairs at the United States Department of State.[7]
