He received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1930.[5] He then spent his entire career at Princeton University, first as a National Research Fellow,[8] then as an instructor in 1932.[5] He then became an assistant professor in 1935 [https://www.academia.edu/6483539/John_A._Hipple_1911-1985_technology_as_knowledge], an associate professor in 1938 and a full professor in 1944.[5] Bleakney became the chair of the Department of Physics in 1960, and remained in that capacity until 1967.[5] Early in his career at Princeton, Bleaker was able to make a difference in nuclear physics. For example, he proved that heavy water contains traces of triple-weight hydrogen (1935).[9] In a team with other Princeton physicists he produced Hydrogen 3 in 1934.[10] Awards and Distinctions
