After the Cultural Revolution, he attended Beijing University of Chemical Technology, where he studied polymers. He stayed at his alma mater after graduation to become an instructor. In 1984 he joined the National Science Commission, where he began to climb through the organization's administrative ranks. He worked at the commission until September 1995 when he was transferred to Xi'an to serve as vice mayor. In March 1998 he became Vice Minister of Science and Technology. In April 2007 he was promoted to party branch secretary. Because the ministry at the time was not headed by a member of the Communist Party, Li's position as party branch chief made him a minister-level official.{{cite news|title=全国人大代表信息-李学勇|url=http://www.npc.gov.cn/delegate/viewDelegate.action?dbid=113016|accessdate=2013-04-05|newspaper=全国人大网|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140528014721/http://www.npc.gov.cn/delegate/viewDelegate.action?dbid=113016|archive-date=2014-05-28|url-status=dead}}
