He was born on December 17, 1838 in New York City, New York, United States, the son of Harriet (Beers) and Alfred Charles Post and a descendant of Richard Post who moved from Lynn, Massachussets, and settled in Southampton in 1640.
After graduating in 1854 from the New York Free Academy (now the College of the City of New York), he began preparation for the work of a medical missionary and studied simultaneously at the medical school of New York University, where his father was professor of surgery, and at Union Theological Seminary. He received degrees in medicine (1860) and theology (1861).
During two years of Civil War service he was able to study at the Baltimore College of Dentistry, which graduated him in 1863 as a doctor of dental surgery
After studies he was appointed chaplain of the 15th Regiment of New York Volunteers.
Later he sailed for Syria, where he was stationed at Tripoli as a missionary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. There he served until 1867, when his health necessitated a visit to the United States.
Returning the following year, he became professor of surgery and diseases of the eye and ear in the recently established Syrian Protestant College (now the American University of Beirut), where he later became dean of the medical department and continued to teach until shortly before his death. During his first twenty years there instruction was given in Arabic and for his classes Post translated into that language a number of English texts on anatomy, physiology, hygiene, surgery, materia medica, botany, and zoology, all published in Beirut.
For five years he edited the Arabic medical journal Al-Tabib. As fruits of a lifelong study of botany he published Plantae Postianae (10 fascicules, 1890-1900) and the Flora of Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, as well as articles in scientific journals, having himself collected and arranged the herbarium on which these are based. In cooperation with Eli Smith and C. V. A. Van Dyck he composed a concordance to the Arabic version of the Bible. For Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible he wrote voluminously on botanical, zoological, and archeological subjects, and for many years he contributed regularly to the Sunday School Times.
He died in 1909.

A man of wide interests, vast energy, and notable professional skill, Post was somewhat autocratic in nature and disconcertingly direct in manner.
On September 17 of the same year he married Sarah, daughter of Robert and Frances Read of Georgetown.
