Before that he taught and researched at Universities in the Netherlands, Singapore, Germany, and the UK.

As a research professor in Transnational Law and Non-State Actors, Math Noortmann investigates the roles of non-state actors in transnational security governance. In particularly, he addresses the delicate balance between the need for security, law and order. His most recent research focuses on transnational organised and maritime crime, and the role of the private security sector in maintaining transnational order and justice.
He has published and lectured extensively in the fields of international law, politics and governance, lead and managed several international research and development projects, supervised PhD research to completion, and holds several positions as editor, reviewer, convener and board member, and presents keynotes, speeches and lectures across the globe.
