Rosen received his BA from Columbia University, MA and PhD from Yale University. He was an instructor at Yale, and joined the faculty of Trinity College, Connecticut, in 2002. Rosen's scholarship has focused on poetry and the evolution of the concept of privacy.

Rosen won the James Russell Lowell Prize from the Modern Language Association in 2013 for co-authoring The Watchman in Pieces: Surveillance, Literature, and Liberal Personhood (2013) with Aaron Santesso.
