Susanne Jahns worked as a palynologist at the University of Göttingen, where she studied sites in Croatia and Greece as well as cores from the Atlantic Ocean off Africa. In 1995, she began her palynological research in the state of Brandenburg at the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin and has been continuing it since 2000 at the Brandenburg State Office for Heritage Management and the Archaeological Museum in Wünsdorf.
