Dr. Jerome-Majewska served as Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at McGill University in Montreal, Canada from 2005 to 2014 was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2014. She is co-Director of the Centre for Research in Reproduction and Developmental Biology at McGill University and a former member of the Widening Participation Committee which is tasked with evaluating and infusing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion into the activities of the Faculty of Medicine. Dr. Jerome-Majewska is also currently co-Editor-in-Chief for Differentiation.

Dr. Jerome-Majewska's laboratory investigates the molecular and cellular bases of human developmental disorders, including those involving core components of the spliceosome that have been linked to craniofacial malformations in human patients using mouse genetics. The goals of Dr. Jerome-Majewska's research program are to identify genes responsible for congenital malformations in humans and to delineate the cellular and genetic pathways regulated by these genes.

In 2022, Dr. Jerome-Majewska received the SCGDB Marylou Buyse Distinguished Scientist Award.
