Do you know an exceptional undergraduate student who would like to spend a fun and
engaging summer in the heart of New York City working at the American Museum of Natural
History?
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, funded by the U.S. National
Science Foundation, offers paid summer internships for qualified undergraduate students to
conduct research projects with AMNH scientists in evolutionary biology and systematics,
linked to specific individual research projects. Included in the program are a general
orientation to the Museum and a series of weekly meetings at which students discuss their
research, present informal progress reports, and participate in discussions and seminars
as well as graduate and research career opportunities. At the conclusion of the
internships, students deliver oral presentations of their work and prepare publication
quality research papers.
Pending the approval of federal funding, successful applicants will receive a stipend and
dormitory housing on a nearby university campus, or an equivalent housing stipend, will be
provided together with a subsistence allowance. Based on need, travel costs to and from
New York City are also covered.
The program is open to all students who are U. S. citizens or permanent residents who will
be returning to a degree-granting undergraduate program. Students from community colleges
and primarily undergraduate institutions are especially encouraged to apply.
