She had intended to travel to the U.S. for a doctorate, but her husband, a chemist, took an industry job in Copenhagen. Branner could not get a job as a high school teacher because she did not have a teaching qualification, but Bundgaard found her a position as a faculty assistant for Bent Fabricius-Bjerre at the Technical University of Denmark. Despite this not beginning as an actual faculty position, she eventually earned tenure there in the 1970s. She was the first woman to chair the Danish Mathematical Society, from 1998 to 2002. She retired in 2008.A symposium in honor of Branner's 60th birthday was held in Holbæk in 2003, and published as a festschrift in 2006.
