Mangerud was a visiting scholar at [Stockholm University](/source/Stockholm_University) in 1965 and the [University of Minnesota](/source/University_of_Minnesota) in 1972, and a visiting professor at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, [University of Colorado](/source/University_of_Colorado_at_Boulder) on several occasions. He has been involved in supervising research activities at the [Norwegian Research Council for Science and the Humanities](/source/Norwegian_Research_Council_for_Science_and_the_Humanities) and the [Research Council of Norway](/source/Research_Council_of_Norway), and his own publications in academic journals number about 160.<ref name=ntb2/>

Childlike curiosity and enthusiasm characterize Mangerud, and when he resigned as professor at the University of Bergen in 2005, he knew that it was precisely these qualities that were the key to his success as a researcher.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Breien |first=Hedda |authorlink=Hedda Breien |title=Geoprofilen: Jan Mangerud – Forskeren, læreren og popularisatoren |year=2005 |url=http://geony.imaker.no/sfiles/5/03/6/file/GeoProfilen_2005-01.pdf |location=Oslo |language=Norwegian |journal=Geoforskning |volume=6/2005 |issue=1 |pages=45–46 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203002826/http://geony.imaker.no/sfiles/5/03/6/file/GeoProfilen_2005-01.pdf |archivedate=December 3, 2013 }}</ref>
