About the Organization

The Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ) at Harvard University is a center for research and education focused on the comparative relationships of animal life.  MCZ collections are comprised of approximately 21-million extant and fossil invertebrate and vertebrate specimens, which continue to be a focus of research and teaching for MCZ, Harvard and outside students and researchers.

About the Fellowship

The Biodiversity Postdoctoral Fellowship program supports postdoctoral researchers at the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ) at Harvard University to pursue the discovery and formal taxonomic description of Earth’s animal species. Fellows will work under the supervision of one or more MCZ faculty-curators, who will provide office space, access to lab facilities and necessary research support. The program aims to achieve broad taxonomic coverage and is not restricted to any particular taxon, living or extinct. Applications from botanists working on plant-animal interactions are also welcome.

Eligibility

• A Ph.D. with relevant research experience in taxonomy and/or systematics is required.
• All formal requirements for the doctoral degree must be completed before the start of the fellowship, though degree receipt may be forthcoming.
• Open to both U.S. and non-U.S. citizens.
• Applicants need to identify at least one faculty-curator who has agreed to supervise the fellowship.
