As DS9 has a thread asking where that crew are, sixteen years after we last saw them, where do you think the Voyager crew wound up, 14 years after they returned to the Alpha Quadrant?
For me:
Janeway: Was promoted to the Admiralty (as we say in NEM) but placed in charged of a unit of Starfleet Science that was looking at all of the data and information the ship returned with regarding the Delta Quadrant. She was later placed in command of a task force that returned to the DQ using slipstream technology, their aim to help build positive relations with native races and form a new branch of the Federation.
Chakotay: Returned to the former DMZ, where he had to face off against a group calling themselves the "New Maquis" who wanted nothing more than to kill Cardassians (and Starfleeters if they got in the way). He was killed saving a Cardassian world from being destroyed. His actions fostering a new peace (though tentative) peace in the region.
Tuvok: After recouperating on Vulcan, he returned to active duty, was promoted to Commander and made Voyager's new First Officer--which was assigned to the first long-term exploratory mission into the Gamma Quadrant after the war. After several years he was promoted to Captain of Voyager and was part of Janeway's task force.
Paris: Settled on Earth, working for Janeway's team developing the slipstream technology for use on Starfleet ships' as well as teaching at the Academy, as he raised his new daughter. When the slipstream drive was perfected he flew the first test flight, then was assigned to Janeway's task force, though now as a full Commander and First Officer of Voyager. Miral (due to her Klingon genetics) advanced far rapidly than a human child and is now at Starfleet Academy.
Torres: Settled on Earth, working for Janeway's team heading up the slipstream technology project for use on Starfleet ships', as she raised her new daughter. She was then assigned to the task force, as a full Commander and Chief Engineering Officer on Voyager. Miral (due to her Klingon genetics) advanced far rapidly than a human child and is now at Starfleet Academy.
Kim: Promoted to Lieutenant and assigned to the U.S.S. Challenger as Chief Operations Officer. He would later serve under Captain La Forge and would be promoted up to Commander and First Officer.
EMH: Assigned to Jupiter Station for analysis, then posted to Starfleet Medical.
Seven: After a full debrief from Starfleet Tactical and Intelligence, she was assigned to Janeway's special unit. She would receive a Starfleet field commission before becoming part of the task force and returning to the Delta Quadrant onboard Janeway's flagship.
Neelix: Lived happily on the Talaxian colony for six months before it was assimilated by the Borg.
Kes: With only a couple years left of her life, she returned to Ocampa and saved her people, making their planet flourish and capable of sustaining a humanoid population again, as well as imparting her knowledge and experiences on them. they would quickly develop and grow, becoming a positive force for change in their sector, before expanding and forming their own alliance of worlds. She was regarded as a saviour and founder of the new order.
U.S.S. Voyager: After being fully repaired and refitted with all modern systems, she was launched on a long-term mission of exploration into the Gamma Quadrant, the first of its kind since the war ended. Under the command of Captain Erika Benteen (the once disgraced officer who regained her captaincy during the war), with Commander Tuvok as XO, Lt. Commander Ezri Dax as Ship's Counsellor/Diplomatic Officer, Lieutenant Ayala as Chief Conn Officer, Lieutenant Vorik as Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Samantha Wildman as Chief Science Officer, Lieutenant Greskrendtregk as Chief Medical Officer, Lieutenant Golwat as Chief Security/Tactical Officer, and Ensign Gerron as Chief Operations Officer. After a highly successful mission she returned to Earth in time to take part in the new task force to return to the Delta Quadrant.

Probably she does serve in some supplementary capacity as 'expert on the delta quadrant', or such.
