During the McCarthy Era, he had trouble obtaining an academic position.
From 1948–1958 he worked at the Bartol Research Institute.

He served as chairman of the department from 1958–1962 and 1968–1969, becoming emeritus in 1983.

Eisenbud was a friend of Paul Erdős.
He wrote a book about Nuclear Physics with Eugene Wigner. He also wrote a book about the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. 

He is the father of the mathematician David Eisenbud.
