After spending three months as Haas Distinguished Visitor in Public Service at Stanford University in the spring of 2013, she returned to OSU.

Lubchenco took a leave of absence from Oregon State University to serve as NOAA Administrator (2009-2013). Lubchenco and Menge have jointly advised and awarded degrees to 30 Ph.D. Each worked half-time for ten years, then three-quarters-time for two years before returning to full-time in 1989, all at OSU. This two half-time, tenure-track arrangement for a couple seems to have been the first in the U.S., although thousands of couples have since negotiated similar positions. At a time when good day care was not available, this novel arrangement allowed each to spend considerable time with their family while also teaching and doing research. They split a single assistant professor position into two, separate, half-time but tenure-track positions. A unique aspect of Lubchenco's position at Oregon State University was the pioneering appointment she and her husband negotiated with the university. Bruce Menge, were both named Wayne and Gladys Valley Professors of Marine Biology, endowed chair positions in the Department of Zoology. Lubchenco served as chair of the Department of Zoology from 1989 to 1992 and in 1993 was named Distinguished Professor of Zoology.

She attended graduate school at the University of Washington where she combined experimental and evolutionary approaches to marine ecology for her thesis on competition between sea stars. During college, a summer class in invertebrate zoology at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, sparked her interest in marine biology and research. She studied as a Ford Independent Studies scholar at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, graduating with a B.A.
