In 1863, he was an adjunct professor in Drammen.[4] From 1864 to 1865, he studied mathematics in Germany and France, while simultaneously on his honeymoon.[4] In 1865, Guldberg became a rector in Stavanger.[1][4] The same year, he began teaching mathematics at the Norwegian Military Academy until 1899.[1][4]
He was an important figure in the insurance industry.[1][4] He also served in the Norwegian law commission.[5]
