Dr. Sarwer began as an Instructor at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in 1995 in the Departments of Psychiatry and Surgery. He was promoted to Assistant Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry and Surgery in 1997, Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry and Surgery in 2004, and Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry and Surgery in 2012. He served as Director of Education (1997 to 2004) and Director of Clinical Services at the Center for Weight and Eating Disorders (2004-2014). Dr. Sarwer served as the Director of the Stunkard Weight Management Program at University of Pennsylvania from 2007-2014. Dr. Sarwer's research is focused on the etiology and treatment of obesity. Much of his work has focused on the psychosocial and behavioral aspects of extreme obesity and bariatric surgery. He is currently leading a study, funded by NIH/NIDDK investigating the relationship between psychosocial functioning and outcomes of bariatric surgery. He also has a wealth of experience in the treatment of obesity with lifestyle modification interventions and pharmacotherapy. His more recent work in this area has focused on the adaptation and delivery of weight loss treatments in specialized medical settings, including primary care, reproductive endocrinology, and oncology.

While at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, he served as a consultant to the Center for Human Appearance and held an appointment at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. In these roles, he directed a program of research on the psychological aspects of physical appearance, which he maintains today. He served as editor on two books from this work Psychological Aspects of Reconstructive and Cosmetic Plastic Surgery (2006) and Presugical Psychiatric Screening (2014).
