He received a Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University in 1963 after completing a doctoral dissertation titled Connectedness of the Hilbert scheme under the supervision of John Coleman Moore and Oscar Zariski.{{Cite book|last=Hartshorne|first=Robin|url=https://catalog.princeton.edu/catalog/1497424|title=Connectedness of the Hilbert scheme|date=1963|language=en}}{{MathGenealogy|id=29466}} He then became a Junior Fellow at Harvard University, where he taught for several years.{{cite book |url=https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9780387902449#aboutBook |publisher=Springer Science+Business Media |title=Algebraic Geometry |access-date=December 30, 2020}} In 1972, he was appointed to the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is a Professor Emeritus as of 2020.{{cite web |url=https://math.berkeley.edu/people/faculty/robin-c-hartshorne |website=University of California, Berkeley |title=Robin C.

In 1979, Hartshorne was awarded the Leroy P. Steele Prize for "his expository research article Equivalence relations on algebraic cycles and subvarieties of small codimension, Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics, volume 29, American Mathematical Society, 1975, pp. 129-164; and his book Algebraic geometry, Springer-Verlag, Berlin and New York, 1977."{{cite web |url=https://www.ams.org/prizes-awards/pabrowse.cgi?parent_id=28 |title=Prize: Leroy P.
