He was allowed to pick his own lecturers, so he chose Bates, Burhop, Buckingham and Gunn. While they had to teach mathematics, they were free to choose their own research topics, so they chose to research physics, carrying out physical experiments.

In early 1945, Harrie Massey offered Burhop a position as a lecturer in the Mathematics Department at University College, London. Burhop fostered international cooperation in nuclear physics. "While never formally charged with atomic espionage or so much as directly questioned by investigators, due to his leftist political views, anti-nuclear activism as well as his personal links to exposed Soviet spies, Burhop was the subject of comprehensive surveillance on the part of the UK, US and Australia's counterespionage agencies in the 1940sâ"1950s, a fact that was publicised in 2019."
