Hajer obtained his DPhil in politics from Oxford University. In the early 1990s, he was employed by the University of Leiden as researcher at the Centre for Law and Public Policy. Between 1993 and 1996, he was a member of the scientific staff at the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, working with sociologist Ulrich Beck. Following that, he became senior researcher at the Dutch Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR), where he was project coordinator of a report on spatial development politics.
Besides being a scientist, Hajer has held a number of public appointments.

In addition, he was a member of a programme committee on the Dutch Labour Party’s manifesto (led by Willem Witteveen). Furthermore, Hajer was a columnist for the Dutch newspapers Het Parool and Staatscourant, and served as member of the jury for the Spinoza Prize, the Dutch EO Weijers competition for landscape architecture, and for EUROPAN 9, the European award for young architects.
