He later taught at Syracuse and Cornell universities before joining the faculty at the University of Maryland in 1977. He taught at the University of Kansas for two years.

He then returned to the Washington area in 1983 and joined the staff of the Brookings Institution.

Levine became a senior specialist with the Congressional Research Service at the Library of Congress in 1984.
