A graduate of Harvard University (BA 1973 and PhD 1980), Delbanco taught at Harvard (1981-1985) and since 1985 has been teaching at Columbia University, where, for twenty years, he held the Julian Clarence Levi chair in the Humanities and, from 2005 to 2015, was director of American Studies.

Delbanco is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the American Philosophical Society. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation (1990),[1] the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Humanities Center, and the New York Public Library Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers.

He serves as a trustee of the Teagle Foundation and of the Library of America, and is the Trustee Emeritus of the National Humanities Center. He has also served as Vice President of PEN American Center.

In 2012, Delbanco was awarded a National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama "for his writings on higher education and the place classic authors hold in history and contemporary life." In 2006, he received the Great Teacher Award from the Society of Columbia Graduates. He was selected as the 2003 New York State Scholar of the Year by the New York Council for the Humanities. In 2001, he was named by Time Magazine as "America's Best Social Critic."
