The College of Marine Sciences and Maritime Studies at Texas A&M University at Galveston
(TAMUG) seeks applications for competitively awarded postdoctoral fellowships from highly
qualified candidates interested in any aspect of marine sciences, oceanography, coastal\/ocean
engineering, marine policy and management, or maritime affairs. Expectations of the
postdoctoral fellows are to elevate the strategic college focus on the Blue Economy. The blue
economy includes all economic activities of ocean-based industries, together with the assets,
goods, and ecosystem services provided by marine environments. Campus priorities include
coastal landform and community resilience, ocean exploration, marine transportation, Power-atSea, and seafood production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each postdoctoral fellow will be paired with a TAMUG faculty member who has agreed to serve as a sponsor*.
Fellowships will provide 100% salary support for 1 year (to end no later than 31 August 2027), with potential for a
one-time 1-year renewal (end date no later than 31 August 2028) upon recommendation of the faculty advisor (total
of 24 months). Each fellow will receive a competitive compensation package, which will include a stipend (up to
$5,000 per year) to cover research experiences. Starting salary for the post-docs will be $62,500 per year with
applicable university benefits. Applications will only be reviewed once all materials are received in a single pdf
document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Successful applicants are likely to communicate early with TAMUG researchers their intent to apply for this program to allow time for successful proposal development. TAMUG faculty may only sponsor one applicant and provide evidence they can support the proposed research in their support letter. *A PhD candidate is a student in their last semester who will complete all graduation requirements prior to starting the fellowship. If the degree has not been conferred at the time of application, a letter from their school\u2019s Graduate and\/or Registrar\u2019s Office certifying that all requirements for the degree have been met must be included with the application package.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submit a complete application packet by 1 February 2026 to research@tamug.edu containing: (i) a cover letter of
interest, (ii) curriculum vitae, (iii) three letters of recommendation (e.g., graduate advisors), (iv) letter of
recommendation by the TAMUG faculty sponsor (counts as fourth letter), (v) short research proposal (2 pages)
written collaboratively by the applicant and the Faculty sponsor, and (vi) a post-doctoral mentoring plan written by
the faculty advisor (as typically included with a NSF or other proposal).
Fellowship recipients will be announced in late March 2026, with an anticipated start date as early as 1 June 2026.
Successful applicants must start on or before 1 September 2026, or their fellowship will be awarded elsewhere<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
