He was lecturer, Jahangirnagar University (1979-1983); Associate Professor (1987-1992); Professor since 1992; Treasurer in 1998- 2001. He works on synthesis, structure and reactivity of triosmium triruthenium clusters with particular emphasis on modelling industrially important HDS (Hydrodesulfurization) and HDN (Hydrodenitrogenation) processes; Reactivity of unsaturated triosmium clusters with small organic and inorganic molecules; Mixed metal organometallic complexes; Mono  and dinuclear  transition metal organometallic complexes. Dr. Kabir took up the challenging task of initiating a front line research like Cluster Chemistry. His rigorous approach and dedication to the subject enabled him to build up an active research group in Cluster  Chemistry at Jahangirnagar University. He was a visiting scholar at California State University, Northridge (USA) (1989-1991) where he was engaged in teaching and research. In February 1994, Dr. Kabir joined Professor Rosenberg's group at the University of Montana (USA) as a Post-doctoral Fellow.

Ghani Gold Medal Award in 2008; The University Grants Commission Award in 1990 and 2011; The Royal Society of Chemistry Research Fund Award for 1993, 1994 and 1995; Jahangirnagar University Prize of books, 1979 (On the results of M. Sc.).

Dr. Kabir published more than 290 research papers mostly in the International Journals of Chemistry with pioneering and fundamental contributions on C-H, N-H, S-H and C-N bonds activation of aromatic N- and S-heterocycles on trimetallic surfaces; Reversible insertion of SO2 into the N-N and P-P bonds of diiron complexes and reactivity of unsaturated triosmium clusters with small organic and inorganic molecules.


He is currently the chief editor, Journal of Bangladesh Chemical Society, member editorial board, Bangladesh Journal of Industrial and Scientific Research and Rashayan Samiskha.

Prof. Kabir was Vice Chancellor 2009-2012. Professor Kabir was a member of Bangladesh Public Service Commission. Chairman, Jahangirnagar University Finance Committee.
