Immediately after his PhD from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (now the New York University Tandon School of Engineering), he joined the University of Michigan in 1970 as an assistant professor. He was granted a leave of absence from the University of Michigan in 1972 to found the Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computer Systems research group at INRIA (France)[11] and was also a visiting associate professor at Paris 13 University. He was elected to a Chair (full professorship) in Computer Science at the University of Liège (Belgium) and appointed in 1973, joining Professor Danny Ribbens with whom he remained a life-long friend. He also continued as a research director (Directeur Scientifique) at INRIA and was awarded a Doctorat d'État ès Sciences Mathématiques (November 1973) from Sorbonne University, with a thesis on "Modèlisation des systèmes informatiques", under Professor Jacques-Louis Lions. He moved to the Paris-Sud 11 University in 1979, co-founded the Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique and its Ph.D. Program, before joining Paris Descartes University in 1986 as founding director of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Informatique.
Gelenbe was appointed New Jersey State Endowed Chair Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (1991-1993). He joined Duke University in 1993 and was appointed Nello L. Teer Chair Professor and Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In 1998 he moved to the University of Central Florida to create the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Harris Corporation Engineering Centre.[12][13]. In 2003 he was offered the Dennis Gabor Chair at Imperial College London[14][15] as Head of Intelligent Systems and Networks. After Brexit, he became Professor at IITIS-PAN [16] of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2017, where he was an Academy Fellow since 2013.[17] He retired from Imperial College in 2019 to continue as Professor at the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Coordinator or Principal Investigator of EU H2020 Research and Innovation Project SerIoT (2017-2021)[18] on the security of the Internet of Things, the EU H2020 Research and Innovation Programmes SDK4ED (2018-2020) and IoTAC (2020-2023), and currently the EU Horizon Project DOSS (2023-2026). Active in several National Academies, he Chairs the Informatics Section of Academia Europaea since 2023.[7] He served as SAPEA Advisor on Cybersecurity for the EU High Level Group (2017), Member of the Fake-News Study Group of the All-European Academies (ALLEA, 2020–2021),[19] leader of the Science Communication (Diffusion des Sciences) Study Group (2020–21) of the Belgian Royal Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, and Study Group leader on "Research to Innovation in Europe" (2022)[20] of the Association of European Academies of Applied Sciences and Engineering.[21]
