P. Judson is an Indian Entomologist,[8] who researched much on Dysdercus cingulatus in the 1970s. In the successive decades,[9] he took to teaching of Zoology[10] at Osmania University, Secunderabad, a State-run University u/s 2 (f)[11] of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956. He contributed much to the discipline of Entomology[4] through scholarly articles in scientific journals (see section on writings). He was also a member of the Indian Society for Comparative Animal Physiology.[12]

Judson was Lecturer, Reader,[13] then Professor[5] and Head[14] and Chairperson of Board of Studies[15] of Department of Zoology[16] at Osmania University,[17] Secunderabad. Earlier in 1997,[18] he became Principal[19] of the University College of Science,[20] Saifabad.[21] During his tenure, a full-fledged vocational course in Dryland farming leading to B. Sc. (Dryland farming)[22] was launched in 2001[22] with the cooperation of three external stakeholders, namely, International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture (CRIDA) and Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU).[22]

Much like an Old Testament Scholar contributing to the German academic journal Zeitschrift für die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft (ZAW), Judson and others, contributed a research article in 1978[23] to the Leipzig-based academic journal, Zeitschrift für mikroskopisch-anatomische Forschung.[23]
