Jackson was educated at Harrow School where he was taught by Christopher Strachey and wrote his first program under Strachey"s guidance. From 1954 to 1958 he studied classics (known as "Greats") at Merton College, Oxford. A fellow student, two years ahead of him, was C. A. R. Hoare.
They shared an interest in logic, which was studied as part of Greats at Oxford.
He is also part-time researcher at American Telephone & Telegraph Company Labs Research, Florham Park, New Jersey, United States., and visiting research professor at the Open University in the United Kingdom.
