Arndt von Haeseler obtained a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Bielefeld in 1988 under the supervision of Andreas Dress and Hans-Georg Carstens.{{cite web | title=Prof. von Haeseler hält seine Antrittsvorlesung an der VUW | website=Veterinärmedizinische Universität Wien| language = de | url=https://www.vetmeduni.ac.at/fileadmin/_migrated/content_uploads/PA_Professur_Bioinformatik.pdf}}{{mathgenealogy|id=24675|name=Arndt von Haeseler}} He habilitated in 1994 at the Department of Zoology of the University of Munich, where he remained as a lecturer until 1998.

From 1998 until 2001, von Haeseler was a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. From 2001 until 2005, he was professor of bioinformatics at the University of Düsseldorf. He was a group leader in bioinformatics at Forschungszentrum Jülich. In 2005, he joined the Max F. Perutz Laboratories (MFPL) in Vienna, where he leads the Center for Integrative Bioinformatics Vienna (CIBIV). He is a professor of bioinformatics at the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna.{{cite web | title=Organisation | website=Max F.
