Description
The Richard Gilder Graduate School administers the American Museum of Natural History’s Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Programs. These fellowships advance participants’ training through specific, time-limited research projects undertaken in association with Museum professionals. Projects must align with Anthropology, Invertebrate Zoology, Paleontology, Physical Sciences—including Astrophysics and Earth and Planetary Sciences—or Vertebrate Zoology.
Associated co-funding programs support biological research emphasizing genomics, species evolution and diversity, the tree of life, and human or medical research through other organisms; wildlife conservation and related studies of North American fauna; and research on marine life and environments. Applicants must apply simultaneously to applicable co-funding programs as part of their main fellowship application.
