After teaching and further study at the Georgia Institute of Technology pursuant to a PhD in mathematics, Oser taught at Clayton State University and other schools before joining the faculty of Oxford College in 2006. 

Oser was the first director of Oxford's math center and has taught courses in pre-calculus, calculus, statistics, number theory, and computer science. He maintains Oxford College’s math and computer science website and serves as faculty mentor for the Oxford math club. 

Over many summers spanning from 1993 to 2023, Oser taught mathematics at the Georgia Governor's Honors Program, teaching courses in topology, number theory, cryptography, programming, problem solving, recursion, linear algebra, and many other topics to some of the most mathematically talented high school students in the state. 

Oser served for six years on both the Executive Committee of the Georgia Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Georgia Mathematics Conference Committee as their director of information technology.   

He has also served as a coach for the team representing the state of Georgia in the American Regions Mathematics League national competition, and he has overseen Oxford College’s participation in the William Lowell Putnam mathematics competition since 2007.

Oser received a BS degree in applied mathematics from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1993 and an MS degree in mathematics from Akron University in 1996.
