Miller studied at the University of California, Berkeley, earning a B.A. in chemistry (1898), an M.A. in zoology (1904) and Ph.D. in paleontology (1912). He taught for three years at Oahu College (now called Punahou School) in Honolulu before earning his master's degree. He was first instructor of biology at Los Angeles State Normal School (which would later become UCLA), teaching from 1904 to 1919. He later became a professor retiring in 1943. His research included, among others. fossil birds from Pleistocene caves in California, the La Brea Tar Pits, and the Green River Formation in Oregon.
