Description
The American Museum of Natural History provides fellowship support for doctoral study in comparative biology through its Richard Gilder Graduate School (RGGS). This opportunity is tied to the school’s own Comparative Biology Ph.D. degree program, rather than doctoral study undertaken at a partner university. Students applying to the degree program are automatically eligible for fellowship support from the school.
RGGS oversees the Museum’s university-level programs, including fellowships for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Support for Comparative Biology Ph.D. students is provided in part by Richard Gilder and the Gilder Foundation, Norma Hess through Hess Foundation, Inc., and the Sibyl Golden Family Foundation.
