Sauer graduated there in 1950 with a Ph.D. dissertation on the grain amaranths. In 1950 he returned to the University of Wisconsin–Madison as an instructor in the botany department. His research dealt with "plant taxonomy, plant geography, economic botany and plant evolution." In 1959 he became a professor at U. W.
