The Council of American Overseas Research Centers Grants

  The Council of American Overseas Research Centers develops programs in collaboration with our member Centers and affiliated partners.

Fellowship and Grant Opportunities

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and our Richard Gilder Graduate School (RGGS) are leaders in the education and training of young scientists in the natural history disciplines represented in this institution.

Our fellowships and research grants programs provide training across these disciplines, including comparative biology and the fields of anthropology, invertebrate zoology, paleontology, physical sciences (astrophysics and earth and planetary sciences), and vertebrate zoology.

 

Doctoral and Graduate Student Fellowships

Students applying to the Comparative Biology Ph.D. Program at the Richard Gilder Graduate School are automatically eligible for fellowship support from the school, provided in part by the generous support of Richard Gilder and the Gilder Foundation, Norma Hess (Hess Foundation, Inc.) and Sibyl Golden Family Foundation.
 We also offer Graduate Fellowships for students interested in earning a PhD at one of our partner institutions (currently Columbia University, CUNY, NYU and Cornell University), when they are advised by an AMNH curator. You may also apply for cofunding in the following areas:
  Fellowship in Evolutionary Primatology,
 Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Fund: North American terrestrial fauna or the
Lerner Gray Fund for Marine Research: Marine Biology.
 

Postdoctoral Fellowships

Newly graduated or soon-to-graduate PhDs may apply for a postdoctoral fellowship in any discipline of the AMNH. Applicants with research interests that may have broad implications for such themes as advancing our understanding of the evolution and diversity of species and the “tree of life”, genomics, and/or human and medical research through the study of other organisms may be eligible for co-funding from the Gerstner Scholar program. Some postdoctoral fellowship applicants may be eligible for support through special programs, if their areas of specialization include the study of North American terrestrial and freshwater fauna (Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Fund) or marine biology (Lerner-Gray Fund for Marine Research).

Research Grants and Student Exchange Fellowships

Seed research grants are available for students and young professionals intending to do field-based research, as well as to use the AMNH collections.
 These include
 Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Grants,
 Lerner-Gray Marine Research Grants,
 Chapman Memorial Grants
 Collection Study Grants.
 Kade Fellowship to support graduate student exchanges between AMNH and French or German institutions.

Undergraduate Fellowships

Every summer AMNH hosts two National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduate Site grants: Research in Evolution and Systematics and Earth Sciences and Astrophysics. In these programs, undergraduate students who have completed their freshman through junior years may work with AMNH scientists on one of an array of potential research projects that are available each year.
