Neubert received his doctorate in 1910 in Munich under Hermann Breymann on the popular beliefs on physiognomics in France up to the end of the Middle Ages (Erlangen 1910) and completed his habilitation in Leipzig in 1918 under Philipp August Becker with an introduction to a critical edition of B. de Maillet's “Telliamed ou Entretiens d'un philosophe indien avec un missionnaire françois. ”A contribution to the history of French enlightenment literature. (Berlin 1920, reprint Nendeln / Liechtenstein 1967). In Leipzig he was an assistant until 1926, and from 1923 to 1926 he was a non-scheduled associate professor. A call to Riga failed in 1922 due to resistance from the Latvian government.

In 1923 he was appointed to a full professorship for Romance philology at the University of Breslau as the successor to Carl Appel . In February 1930 he became chairman of a newly founded Franco-German Society in Breslau.

In 1935 he turned down an offer to Freiburg and had been scheduled for Berlin since 1937 , where he succeeded Emil Winkler in 1943. Viktor Klemperer ( Diaries 1942-45 , January 27th Thursday evening): “Neubert, this utter mediocrity among the Romanists of my generation, a schoolmaster with no thought of his own, has been appointed to the Berlin Ordinariate for Romance Literature. How good must his Nazi sentiments be, how much better and how much more often proven than his literary-historical achievement. ”During the post-war division of the University of Berlin, he moved to the Free University of Berlin in 1949 , where he retired in 1958. His successor was Walter Pabst .

Since 1949 he was a full member and since 1969 an external member of the German Academy of Sciences in Berlin .
