Grobben studied natural sciences and zoology in Vienna from 1873 to 1877 . He received his doctorate in 1877 and his habilitation in 1879. In 1884 he became an associate professor and in 1893 a full professor of zoology at the University of Vienna. He specialized in mollusks and crustaceans .

After the death of Carl Claus , he continued his standard work Basics of Zoology .
