In 1727, he became a lecturer in theology at Trondheim Cathedral School following the death of Thomas von Westen.

Note

The "d.e." at the end of his name means den eldre (English: the elder) to distinguish him from his younger nephew, Eiler Hagerup d.y. (1718- 1789), Bishop in the Diocese of Bjørgvin and later in Kristiansand. [3]
