Originally part of the faculty of Bucknell University,[2] Rudolph joined the University of Pennsylvania, where she was an assistant professor of history in 2006.[4] In January 2011, she moved to North Carolina State University as an associate professor;[3] she later became a full professor.[2] Her teaching experience also includes recurring seminars at the Duke University School of Law and the Folger Institute.[2]

Rudolph specializes in early modern Europe, including in the British Empire of that time, as well as intersections with women's history.[2] She is author of Revolution by Degrees: James Tyrrell and Whig Political Thought in the Late Seventeenth Century (2002).[3] In 2006, she published an edited volume, History and Nation, within Bucknell University Press' Aperçus series.[4] By 2011, she was working on Common Law and Enlightenment in England, 1689-1750, which explores the history of judicial precedent;[3] it was released in 2013 as the fifteenth volume of Boydell Press' Studies in Early Modern Cultural, Political and Social History.[5] In 2021, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in Law;[6] that fellowship will support her research project on mortgage lending in the British Empire and British mortgage law.[7]

In 2014, Rudolph was elected Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.[2] She was awarded the North American Conference on British Studies' Judith R.
