In 1958/59 he was a Fulbright Lecturer at the University of Münster .
Seligman studied at the University of Rochester with a bachelor's degree in 1950 and received his doctorate in 1954 at Yale University with Nathan Jacobson (Lie algebras of prime characteristic). He was then an instructor and from 1965 professor at Yale, where he was head of the mathematics faculty from 1974 to 1977.
His graduate students include James E. Humphreys and Robert Lee Wilson .
He has been married to Irene Schwieder since 1959 and has two daughters.
