After completing his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1950, he joined the physics faculty at Indiana University (1951-1955) and then at the University of Pennsylvania (1956-1959). In 1959, Brueckner was recruited by Roger Revelle to come to UCSD and assist with its initial development.
