Furnas started his academic career as graduate student teaching assistant at Stanford University in 1975.
After his graduation in 1980 he started at Bell Labs, where he was a distinguished member of technical staff for 15 years.
In the last two years he was Director of Computer Graphics and Interactive Media research.
In 1995 he moved to the University of Michigan, where he was appointed Professor of Psychology, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, and Professor at the School of Information.
From 2002 to 2008 he was also Associate Dean for Academic Strategy, School of Information.

A principal focus of his research is in advanced information access and visualization.
His early role in the analysis of the "Vocabulary Disagreement" problem lead to his co-invention of Latent Semantic Analysis for indexing and text processing.
His classic "Generalized Fisheye Views" paper inspired a sea of focus+context research in information visualization.
"George's BITPICT graphical rewrite system is well known novel contribution to diagrammatic reasoning, visual languages and visual programming communities. George was also an early researcher in the areas of collaborative filtering and graph visualization. His 'Space-Scale Diagrams in the Pad++ Zooming User Interface' advanced the analysis of zoomable user interfaces, and View Navigation theory has helped motivate much subsequent research in Information Scent. Recently he has been working on consolidating theories of design and use at multiple levels of aggregation."
