His specialty is the religious culture of early modern Europe, particularly Italy, and he is also an expert on the Second Vatican Council. O’Malley has held a number of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies, and other academic organizations.
