Vermeule attended the American School of Classical Studies at Athens as a Fulbright Scholar in 1950–1951, where she took part in the excavation of a Mycenaean tomb.[3] Three years later, in1953-54 she studied at St Anne's College, Oxford Oxford University as a Catherwood Fellow.[4] she was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1964–1965.[3]

She taught at Bryn Mawr and Wellesley College from 1956-58, and 1958 she became an assistant professor of Classics, and then from 1961 associate professor, at Boston University.[3] In 1965 she returned to Wellesley, holding the position of professor of Art and Greek until 1970.[1][3] She was the James Loeb Visiting Professor of Classical Philology at Harvard University in 1969.[4] In 1970, she was appointed the Samuel Zemurray Jr. and Doris Zemurray-Stone Radcliffe Professor at Harvard University, where she taught in both the departments of Classics and the History of Art and Architecture.[1] She retired in 1994.

In 1995 Vermeule served as the president of the American Philological Association (now Society for Classical Studies).[5] She delivered a presidential lecture at the 1995 annual meeting in San Diego entitled 'Archaeology and Philology: The Dirt and the Word'.[6]

Vermeule excavated at many sites in Greece, Turkey, Cyprus and Libya, including Gordion in the early 1950s, and Kephallenia, Messenia, Coastal East Libya, Halicarnassus, and Thera-Santorini in the 1960s.[7] She was director of the excavations at Toumba tou Skourou, Cyprus, in 1971-74.[8]
