From 2009 to 2017 Myers was a lecturer at United Theological College within the School of Theology of Charles Sturt University. Prior to taking up a post at CSU, Myers was a researcher at the University of Queensland's Centre for the History of European Discourses. He has also been a member of Princeton's Center of Theological Inquiry and a visiting scholar at Fuller Theological Seminary.
      Myers specializes in systematic theology, English literature and modern Anglican thought. He has published a major book on John Milton's theology, as well as numerous articles on Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, Sarah Coakley, Benedict XVI and other modern theologians. His book on the thought of the previous Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, was named one of the best books of 2012 in The Guardian and The Christian Century. His book on the Apostles' Creed was an ECPA Book Award Finalist and a SparkLit Christian Book of the Year Award Finalist in 2019.
      Myers is also widely known for being a pioneer in the Biblioblog movement. His blog, Faith & Theology, was one of the original theology blogs and attracted a wide international audience for many years. A selection of writing from the blog was published as a book in 2013.
