Carrera

Los trabajos de Murphy se han enfocado en el rol de la filosofía moderna y postmoderna en modelar la teología cristiana; en las relaciones entre la teología y la ciencia; y más recientemente ha trabajado en temas ligados a la filosofía de la mente y neurociencia. Su primer libro, Teología en la Era del Razonamiento Científico (Cornell, 1990) ganó el premio a la excelencia otorgado por la Academia Norteamericana de Religión. Es autora de nueve libros, incluidos Postmodernidad Anglo-Norteamericana: Perspectivas Filosóficas sobre Ciencia, Religión, y Ética (Westview, 1997); y Sobre la Naturaleza Moral del Universo: Teología, Cosmología, y Ética (con G.F.R Ellis, Fortress, 1996),^[1]​ por este último recibió el Premio Templeton para el Progreso de la Religión. Sus libros más recientes son Cuerpos y Almas, o Cuerpos Espirituales? (Cambridge, 2006); y (escrito con Warren Brown) Es que mis Neuronas me hicieron obrar así? Perspectivas Filosóficas y Neurobiológicas sobre la Responsabilidad Moral y el Libre Albedrío (Oxford, 2007).^[2]​

Murphy ha coescrito once libros, incluidos (con L. Schultz y R.J. Russell, Brill 2009) Filosofía, Ciencia y Acción Divina; (con G.F.R. Ellis y T. O'Connor, Springer, 2009) Causalidad y la Neurobiología del Libre Albedrío, Springer; y (con William R. Stoeger, Oxford, 2007) Evolución y Emergencia: Sistemas, Organismos y Personas.^[3]​^[4]​

Murphy es miembro del Directorio del Centro de Teología y Ciencias Naturales^[5]​ (y expresidente del Directorio); de la Asociación Filosófica Norteamericana; y de la Sociedad de Filósofos Cristianos. Fue asesora del programa sobre diálogo entre la ciencia, ética, y religión de la Asociación Norteamericana para el Avance de la Ciencia, y se desempeña en los comités de planificación de una serie de conferencias sobre ciencia y acción divina y sobre el problema del mal natural bajo el auspicio del Observatorio Vaticano.

En 1998 Murphy fue designada la alumna del año de la Universidad Creighton, y en el 2006, alumna GTU del año. En el año 1999 fue J.K Russell Fellow en el Centro de Teología y Ciencias Naturales. Fue elegida miembro de la Sociedad Internacional para la Ciencia y la Religión y se desempeña en su comité de ejecutivo.
