Simultaneously, he also served as Auxiliary Professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology of McGill University as well as Adjunct Professor of Food Science at the University of Massachusetts and University of Nebraska.

Amer was born in Egypt in 1944 and received the bachelor of science degree in 1964 and postgraduate diploma in food and agricultural studies in 1966 at Cairo University. He completed the M.Sc. degree in food science and technology at the University of Guelph in Ontario in 1969 and the Ph.D. in nutrition and lipid biochemistry at McGill University in 1971.
