Leiber's research explores societal structures and conflict dynamics in classical antiquity. His dissertation project examines mechanisms of dispute resolution in Athens (403/02–322 BC), with broader implications for understanding social cohesion in ancient democracies.

Recent publications include reviews of Franziska Luppa’s work on Athenian resident foreigners (2024) and the Trier exhibition on the Roman Empire’s decline (2023). These contributions highlight his expertise in cultural interactions and historical interpretations of late antiquity.

He teaches courses on topics like exclusion in ancient Rome, Athenian courtroom speeches, and Roman imperial social structures. Lectures delivered address themes such as lottery-based decision-making in Athenian society and conflict resolution frameworks in classical contexts.
