OCE graduates often obtain prestigious postdoctoral positions and fellowships upon graduating and go on to become researchers, scientists, teachers, and professors in laboratories, colleges, and universities worldwide. Many of our alumni are found in the private sector, for example producing satellite data products, developing instrumentation, making coastal/environmental predictions, and geo-consulting. Some have careers in science policy, environmental management or protection, and at NGOs. Others have positions in scientific management, funding, and steering, both nationally and internationally (e.g. NSF, WMO). Recent graduates have moved on to positions at institutions such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, NASA, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, the Bjerknes Climate Center, the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, the Belmont Forum, and the MITRE Corporation, just to name a few.
