What is the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences?
See how Rutgers IMCS Faculty are studying some of the most pressing matters of modern science
Why come study at Rutgers?
How many people can say they were part of the team that sailed the first underwater robot across the Atlantic Ocean? Rutgers students can-- and do!
How can you get involved? Rutgers students can team up with Professors throughout the IMCS to do great research as illustrated by the undergraduates that anchor Rutgers Glider Program!

The Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University supports Postdoctoral Associates in the areas of biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography. These fellowships are one year renewable appointments. Prospective candidates are expected to pursue creative research avenues within existing research programs and faculty expertise. Applications can be submitted for consideration on an ongoing basis. However, new openings are not anticipated until early in 2014. Active solicitation of applications will commence in late 2013.
Any applications should include a statement of research interests that clearly coordinate with IMCS faculty research programs, a curriculum vitae, and names of 3 references. They should be emailed to Dr. Richard A. Lutz (Director, Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences):
