Fellows will be able to select Rutgers faculty as mentors and will have an opportunity to advise graduate and undergraduate researchers. Located 1 hour from New York City and 1.5 hours from Philadelphia, Rutgers offers active collaborations with several other outstanding nearby universities and astrophysics research centers.
