He earned his PhD at Lviv University in 1955. His advisor was Lev Volkovyski.

From 1955 to 1963 he was a docent at Uzhhorod National University. He then taught at Lviv University from 1963 to 1997 and became a full professor there in 1965. His work included building meromorphic functions with infinitely many deficient values and solving the inverse problem of Nevanlinna theory for finitely many deficient values.

In 1992 he shared the State Prize of Ukraine with Iossif Ostrovskii and Boris Levin. He wrote over 150 research papers and a book with Ostrovskii. Goldberg's examples, Goldberg's constants and Goldberg's conjecture carry his name.
