He has previously taught at the University of Sydney and University of Newcastle; in the late 1970s, he lectured for four years at the University of Geneva.[2] He was named the Whitlam Chair in Writing and Society at the University of Western Sydney in 2005.[3]

Alongside many academic articles and newspaper reviews, Indyk was the author of a 1993 monograph on Australian writer David Malouf. The late academic and diplomat Martin Indyk was his brother. He has been married to the writer and critic Evelyn Juers since 1978.[1]
