Klaus Hulek studied from 1971 mathematics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich with a diploma degree in 1976. In 1974/75 he studied at Brasenose College of Oxford University , where he received a Master of Science degree. He received his doctorate in 1979 under Wolf Barth at the University of Erlangen ( stable rank 2 vector bundles with an odd first Chern class ). In 1982/83 he was a post-doctoral student at Brown University and then again a research assistant in Erlangen, where he completed his habilitation in 1984 and became a private lecturer.

From 1985 Hulek held a professorship at the University of Bayreuth . In 1990 Hulek was appointed to the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University in Hanover , where the professor was Vice President for Research from 2005 to January 2015 .

Hulek is the editor of Mathematische Nachrichten . Since 2016 he has been editor-in-chief of the zbMATH database (formerly Zentralblatt für Mathematik) . From January 2019 to May 2020, Hulek was Vice President of the German Mathematicians Association (DMV).

His doctoral students include Andreas Gathmann and Matthias Schütt .
