He was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor from 1976 to 1978. He taught at several German universities as well as at the Johns Hopkins University Bologna Center for Advanced International Studies, Bologna, Italy.

Hoppe is currently Professor of Economics at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, a Senior Fellow with the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and, until December, 2004, editor of the Journal of Libertarian Studies. Hoppe's viewpoints on restricting immigration have generated controversy among libertarians. His comments during a lecture about time preference and homosexuals have also generated controversy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
