Moore graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in 1958 and with a Ph.D. in 1960 under the supervision of George Mackey (Extensions and cohomology theory of locally compact groups).{{MathGenealogy|32896}} In 1961 he became assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley and professor in 1966. From 1977 to 1980, he was director of the Center for Pure and Applied mathematics.

With Shiing-Shen Chern and Isadore Singer, he co-founded Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in 1982. From 1964 to 1965 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.

He was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. From 1965 to 1967 he was a Sloan Fellow.

Since 1977, he is co-editor of the Pacific Journal of Mathematics. From 1978 to 1979 he was a Miller research professor at Berkeley.

He has written on a history of mathematics at Berkeley.Mathematics at Berkeley. A History, A. K.
