In 1975 he was employed as associate professor in mathematics at Luleå University of Technology (LTU), and was appointed full professor in 1994. Since 2019 he is professor emeritus there. Before his professor appointment at LTU, he was appointed as full professor at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Campus Narvik (previously Narvik University College) in 1992. He still works as professor of mathematics at the same university. He was also appointed as honorary professor at L.N.Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Kazakhstan in 2005. Persson has also worked as a part-time professor at Uppsala University, where he is now professor emeritus. For a shorter period he taught at Lund University, Sweden, as professor in mathematics on the chair of professor Jaak Peetre. He was appointed as senior professor at Karlstad university, Sweden, in 2019.

Persson has authored or co-authored approximately 320 journal papers and 16 books. He serves as the editor for seven international journals. He has been President of the Swedish Mathematical Society and has been a member of the National Committee of Mathematics, affiliated with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, since 1995, serving as secretary from 1995 to 2002. He was also a member of the NT-R board (Mathematics and Technical Mathematics) at the Swedish Research Council for six years, where he was involved in distributing funding for top-tier basic research in Sweden. He chaired the board in 2010 and from 2012 to 2014. He initiated and was the first director of Center of Interdisciplinary Mathematics (CIM) at Uppsala University.
