Schober also actively engages in research while fulfilling his duties as professor at the New School for Social Research. Some of his research interests are within the fields of, but not limited to: linguistics, psychology, music, public opinion research analysis, and artificial intelligence.

His interest in music may stem from the fact that he is a classical pianist. His sister, Monica Schober [http://www.geocities.com/monicaschober@sbcglobal.net/index] is a German Lieder recitalist. He has performed solo, but specializes in chamber and collaborative music. In February 2003, Michael Schober accompanied his sister in a performance of Wagner’s ''Wesendonck Lieder'' and selected songs of Richard Strauss, Hugo Wolf, and Johannes Brahms at Steinway Hall in New York City.
