In 1877 he joined the Central Institute of Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) in Vienna as a volunteer.<ref>[http://www.zamg.ac.at/about/history/index.php/ ZAMG = Central Institute of Meteorology in Vienna] {{webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100131050212/http://www.zamg.ac.at/about/history/index.php \|date=2010-01-31 }}</ref> After two years he left Vienna to study in Berlin for a year. He returned to Vienna and received his PhD in Electrodynamics. During his doctoral studies he was a [[Privatdozent]]: an unpaid position, but one which allowed him to lecture students. Students' fees gave him some income. Later, administration offered this teaching job to someone else after he refused to convert from Judaism to acquire the position, which ended his academic career. In 1882 he returned to ZAMG. During this time he focused on electro- and hydrodynamic problems. In his free time he studied physical and physico-chemical problems. The [[Duhem–Margules equation]] and the [[Margules activity model\|Margules' Gibbs free energy equation]] are examples of his free-time devotion. In 1900 his interest switched to meteorology and deployed his thermodynamic knowledge. This led to the [[Margules formula]], a formula for characterizing the slope of a front.
