The Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program at the American Museum of Natural History provides training to postdoctoral investigators to carry out a specific project within a limited time period. The project must fit into one or more of the Museum’s areas of interest: Anthropology, Invertebrate Zoology, Paleontology, Physical Sciences (Astrophysics and Earth & Planetary Sciences), and Vertebrate Zoology. This Fellowship Program is designed to advance the training of the participant by having them pursue a project in association with Museum professionals in the Museum setting.

Postdoctoral Fellows of all groups listed above will be hired as full-time employees of the American Museum of Natural History. During their employment they will receive full medical insurance, as well as all other AMNH employee benefits. Limited relocation, research, and publication support is provided. Appointments are typically made for up to two years. Postdoctoral Fellows are expected to be in residence working at the Museum. Newly graduated or soon-to-graduate PhDs may apply. Fellows must have received their degrees or deposited their dissertations before they can begin their appointments. There are no citizenship or geographic requirements to apply.
