The Richard Gilder Graduate School Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program at the American Museum of Natural History advances each fellow's training by having them pursue a specific, time-limited research project with museum professionals. Appointments typically run two years and include salary, benefits, and limited relocation, research, and publication support. Applicants' proposed projects must align with one or more of the Museum's Scientific Divisions: Anthropology, Invertebrate Zoology, Paleontology, Physical Sciences (Astrophysics and Earth & Planetary Sciences), or Vertebrate Zoology.
Newly graduated or soon-to-graduate PhD students may apply; degrees must be received or dissertations deposited before the appointment begins. There are no citizenship or geographic restrictions, and the work is conducted at the Museum's New York location. The application deadline is November 15, 2026.
