After her post-doctoral fellowship, Steinberg moved to Columbia University, where she spent two years as a Senior Research Associate. She then joined the Department of Otolaryngology at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and joined The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research when it was established in 2000. She then served as senior advisor and professor at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research,[3] provost at the Elmezzi Graduate School of Molecular Medicine (both in Manhasset, New York), and professor at the Department of Molecular Medicine at the Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine in Hempstead, NY.[4] From 1989 to 2011 she served as professor of Otorhinolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery and of Microbiology & Immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine[5], and is a founding officer and member of the International Papillomavirus Society Board of Directors[6].
