Stein was an unusual case in that he never completed a bachelors degree. He was admitted directly into a Master of Arts program at the University of, finishing his masters in 1954 under the supervision of Robert Crane. Burt then wrote his Ph.D. dissertation in 1957 on the economic functions of South India’s medieval Tirupati temple. Upon the completion of his PhD, Stein was appointed to a teaching post at the University of Minnesota, where he stayed until the end of 1965. He then moved to the University of Hawaii where he stayed for 17 years until 1983. He held visiting professorships at the University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, University of Washington, University of California, Berkeley and the Centre for Historical Studies of Jawaharlal Nehru University. In 1983 he married the author Dorothy Stein and moved to London, where he lived within ten minutes of the India Office Library. He was appointed a Professorial Research Associate of the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.Stein was known for his wide ranging participation in seminars and other South Asian scholarly work. Stein continued to write prolifically in his retirement and he continued to spend significant amounts of time consulting with students and other scholars. He was known for his dry sense of humour and usually responded to student questioning by posing counterquestions.Stein's contributions as a research scholar was mainly focused on premodern and colonial South India. He spent the early 1960s formulating a hypothesis about the nature of "state" in South India. Burt was skeptical of the existence of a Chola "empire" as a bureaucratic structure. He was a proponent of and alternative concept, adapted from the work of Aidan Southall work on African society, the "segmentary state". He used this in his first book, Peasant, State and Society in Medieval South India printed in 1980. In retirement, Burt's writing productivity increased over time, with four more books written and a fifth published posthumously.Burt and Jan Broek, a colleague from Minnesota first devised the idea of a historical atlas of South Asia, and enlisted the backing of Charles Leslie Ames to establish a fellowship in historical cartography of the Indian subcontinent. Under the leadership of Joseph E. Schwartzberg, the work on the atlas began in the mid-1960s. Burt was an active advisor on the project, which resulted in the publications of A Historical Atlas of South Asia, published by the University of Chicago Press in 1978.Burt was survived by his wife and three children from a previous marriage.".
