Description
The AMNH Ph.D. Student Partnership Fellowship is a collaborative doctoral training program between the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and select partner universities. This fellowship enables new Ph.D. students to benefit from dual mentorship by AMNH curators (who serve as advisors and adjunct faculty) and university faculty, providing access to advanced research facilities and resources at both institutions. The program supports research and professional development across scientific disciplines practiced at AMNH, such as comparative biology, anthropology, paleontology, and related fields, preparing participants for careers in academia and scientific research.
