Chatterjee received a Bachelor and Master of Statistics from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, and a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2005, where he worked under the supervision of Persi Diaconis.[5] Chatterjee joined University of California, Berkeley, as a visiting assistant professor, then received a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in 2006. In July 2009 he became an Associate Professor of Statistics and Mathematics at University of California, Berkeley. Then in September 2009, Chatterjee became an associate professor of mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University.[6] He spent the academic year 2012–2013 as a visiting associate professor of mathematics and statistics at Stanford University. Since autumn 2013 he has joined the faculty of Stanford University as a full professor with joint appointments in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics.[7]

He has served as an associate editor of Annals of Probability, Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincaré (B) Probabilities et Statistiques, "Probability Theory and Related Fields". He currently serves as an editor of Communications in Mathematical Physics.[8]
