OUTSTANDING GRADUATE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES IN
EVOLUTIONARY PRIMATOLOGY/PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
The New York Consortium in Evolutionary
Primatology (NYCEP) is seeking applicants for its
innovative Ph. D. program in Physical
Anthropology and related disciplines. Funded by
the NSF-IGERT program, we seek exceptional
students in the fields of anthropological
genetics, paleoanthropology, comparative
morphology, primate behavior/ecology and
conservation. For more details visit

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NYCEP PROGRAM
24 core faculty covering an unparalleled range of interests
Over 40 additional resource faculty worldwide
Access to outstanding academic resources in the heart of New York City
Unique fieldwork opportunities around the world
Highly integrated 1st-year training in morphology, behavior and genetics
Competitive student stipends with extra funds for fieldwork and pilot studies
FUNDING: Our NSF-IGERT-funded initiative offers a
stipend of $30,000 per student per year for
between three and five years depending on the
package. All tuition and fees are covered in
that period, and additional funds are available
for pilot studies and to gain field experience anywhere in the world.
FACULTY EXPERTISE: Encompasses the following
research areas comparative morphology and
systematics, geometric morphometrics, hominin
paleobiology, Paleolithic archaeology, taphonomy
and paleoecology, primate paleontology, locomotor
energetics, bioarchaeology, human skeletal
variation and forensics, primate behavior,
nutritional and behavioral ecology, conservation
biology, anthropological genetics, genomics, and molecular systematics.
RESOURCES: NYCEP unites the resources of the
American Museum of Natural History, the City
University of New York, Columbia University, the
Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York
University, and the Wildlife Conservation
Society. We also collaborate with Rutgers
University, the Max Planck Institute for
Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig), and the University of Tuebingen.
POTENTIAL APPLICANTS: Advanced undergraduates or
students completing an MA with an interest in
evolutionary primatology (who should also contact
relevant faculty members [see the faculty web
pages] by email). NYCEP encourages applications
from members of groups traditionally
underrepresented in science. IGERT-supported
students must be US citizens, nationals, or
permanent residents, but individual institutions
may also be able to support international students.
