Hayes was born to Australian parents living in the United States.

According to Hayes, the family moved frequently in her early years.

When Hayes was 11 years old her parents decided to return home to Australia, moving the family first to Sydney and then to Adelaide where Hayes completed her secondary education.

She credits her parents' interest in philosophy, religion, literature, and world culture as instrumental in shaping her own intellectual passions, including her eventual study of Jewish history, culture, and religion.

Upon finishing high school, Hayes returned to the United States to study at Harvard University and received her B.A.

In 2017, she was elected president of the Association for Jewish Studies.

In 2021 Hayes was named a Sterling Professor, one of the highest academic honors that Yale University bestows.

Hayes' scholarship addresses a wide range of historical, literary, legal, and philosophical topics in biblical and rabbinic literature.

Her second book, Gentile Impurities and Jewish Identities: Intermarriage and Conversion from the Bible to the Talmud, is a work of cultural history.

It examines the diverse ways in which biblical, Second Temple, and rabbinic sources employ purity language to construct Jewish identity and to inscribe and police community boundaries with varying degrees of porousness.

Her most recent book, ''What's Divine about Divine Law?

Early Perspectives'', traces two radically distinct conceptions of divine law—Greco-Roman natural law grounded in reason and biblical law grounded in divine will—that emerged in antiquity and confronted one another in the Hellenistic period.

According to Hayes, their confrontation created a cognitive dissonance for those who felt compelled to negotiate the claims of both traditions.

In a series of interconnected close readings, Hayes charts the creative and conflicting responses to this cognitive dissonance.

Second Temple and Hellenistic Jewish authors sought to minimize the distance between classical and biblical understandings of divine law by attributing to the Torah the qualities deemed definitive of the divine natural law of Stoic tradition: truth, rationality, universality, and immutability.

By contrast, Paul sought to widen the gap, representing the Torah of Moses as possessing none of the traits of the Hellenistic divine/natural law and all of the traits of conventional positive law.

Hayes argues that a third path was taken by the Talmudic rabbis, whose unique and surprising construction of divine law—as dynamic, mutable, and not necessarily rational or allied with a monistic "truth"—resisted the Hellenistic and Pauline conceptions that would come to dominate the Christianized west.
