| Barnes obtained a [[Bachelor of Science|BSc]] in [[Archaeological science|Archaeological Sciences]] from the [[University of Bradford]], and a [[DPhil]] in Biology from the [[University of York]] supervised by [[Keith Dobney]]. Following his doctoral research, Barnes worked with [[Mark G. Thomas|Mark Thomas]] at [[University College London|UCL]] on the recovery of DNA from medical museum specimens, and with [[Alan J. Cooper]] at the [[University of Oxford]]. He was then awarded a [[Wellcome Trust]] Bioarchaeology Fellowship and returned to UCL, and subsequently received a [[Natural Environment Research Council|NERC]] fellowship to work on the Late Pleistocene megafauna at [[Royal Holloway, University of London]]. He was made Professor of Molecular Palaeobiology there in 2013, and moved that year to the Natural History Museum.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Professor Ian Barnes, Royal Holloway|url=https://pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/portal/en/persons/ian-barnes(f4e53f17-a02b-40cb-8eb6-eb4f349f2e7d).html}}</ref> He is the recipient of numerous research awards from major funding bodies including the Wellcome Trust and UKRI.
