He then worked at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and the Bergakademie Clausthal , where he qualified as a professor in 1935 on the Raman effect in analytical chemistry.
After the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists , he became a member of the SA in 1933 and rose within the SA to block leader and group leader. After his habilitation, he taught at the Bergakademie for two years before moving to the University of Göttingen in 1937 . In the same year he joined the NSDAP .

Goubeau's field of work was the inorganic synthetic chemistry and spectroscopy of compounds of boron , silicon and phosphorus . His fundamental work on vibration spectroscopy and force constants as a measure of the strength of chemical bonds were particularly important .
