He studied at the New School for Social Research in New York as well as the University of Iowa before becoming a professor at Indiana University's African Studies Program as the Rudy Professor of Fine Arts in 1962. In 1983, he became Associate Director for Collections and Research at the National Museum of African Art, where he created several African Art exhibits. Scholars have credited Sieber as the “founder of the discipline of African art history in the United States.”
