[1] Weisbrod earned his undergraduate (1990) and graduate degrees (MSc, with distinction: 1993; PhD: 1999) from the Department of Soil and Water Sciences at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

In 1999 he joined the Department of Bioengineering (now Biological & Ecological Engineering), Oregon State University as a post-doctoral fellow.

At Ben Gurion University, he has held numerous academic administration positions: from 2009 to 2015 he was the Head of the Department of Environmental Hydrology and Microbiology at the ZIWR, and he also served as the Director of the Blaustein Center for Scientific Cooperation (2013-2015).

He has been involved in various international missions and evaluation panels to assess local water realities, in places like Chile, Inner Mongolia, Namibia[2] and the Galapagos Islands.

Research involving the exploration of processes and mechanisms related to flow and transport phenomena in the subsurface and at the Earth-atmosphere interface, for example: The role of surface-exposed fractures in groundwater salinization and earth-atmosphere gas exchanges and the role of fractures and other discontinuities within the Earth's surface, items which fundamentally impact the Earth-atmosphere interaction, for example: Soil evaporation and the impact of various soil and atmospheric conditions on this process, including the links between soil evaporation and salinization, for example: The transport of contaminants (salts, VOC's, perchlorate, Cr, explosives, pesticides, radionuclides and pharmaceutical waste) below industrial zones and non-point source pollution (mainly agriculture).
