Ph.D. graduates of the MPO program have largely obtained prestigious postdoctoral positions and fellowships from institutions across the globe. They have moved on to become researchers, teachers, and professors in labs and universities, and many have moved into the private sector. Others have careers in science policy, science education, and environmental protection or management. Recent graduates now hold positions at NASA, NCAR, the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Columbia University, Colorado State University, the Bjerknes Climate Center, and the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, among many other institutions.
