Description
The AMNH Graduate Ph.D. Fellowship—Partner Institutions track is a collaborative doctoral training program between the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and select universities. It is designed for new Ph.D. students seeking advanced training in scientific disciplines practiced at the Museum, including comparative biology, anthropology, paleontology, zoology, and physical sciences. Fellows benefit from the combined resources, expertise, and facilities of both AMNH and their host university, with at least one AMNH curator serving as a graduate advisor and adjunct faculty member. The degree is formally awarded by the partner university, but students conduct significant research and training at both institutions, leveraging the Museum’s unique collections, laboratories, and research environment.
