Rijksuniversiteit in Leiden in 1954 and of the Wilhelms Universitat of Munster in 1964. Waardenburg spoke out against the use of eugenics to justify racial genocide by Nazis during their occupation of Netherlands from 1940-1945. They allowed him to continue his research because it did often support Nazi ideology.

From 1934 to 1940, Waardenburg was external university lecturer in medical genetics at
Utrecht University. From 1931 to 1935 he was secretary of the Netherlands Ophthalmological Society. He was a founding member of the Netherlands Anthropogenetic Society and its president from 1949 to 1963. He became

Waardenburg was almost 50 years of age before he was habilitated as a lecturer in human genetics. At the age of 66, in 1952, he was finally appointed professor of genetics at the
Institute of Preventive Medicine, Leiden. Between 1961 and 1974 the three volumes of his book
