[3] Upon high school graduation, he began his academic studies at the Computer Science department of the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in 1977 and received his B.Sc.

[3] From 1987 to 1989 Schieber was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Theory of Computation, Mathematical Sciences Department of IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York.

[3] In 2018 he joined the New Jersey Institute of Technology as a Professor and chair of the Department of Computer Science (until June 2022).

His work includes the development of fast, provably efficient, approximation algorithms for intractable combinatorial optimization problems.

Schieber considered such intractable business optimization problems in areas like scheduling and network design and devised general techniques for solving them.

[3] Schieber's research projects have been featured in major publications, including The New York Times,[11] Forbes,[12] The Economist,[13] Newsweek[14] and more.
