City University of New York Physical Anthropology Graduate Training, Ph. D. Program in Anthropology (Physical Anthropology Subfield), City University of New York Graduate SchoolEducational ProgramNew York, New York, USA City University of New York Physical Anthropology Graduate Training, Ph. D. Program in Anthropology (Physical Anthropology Subfield), City University of New York Graduate School (Established 1970) 365 Fifth Avenue , New York , New York 10016 USA Director: Executive Officer for Anthropology (=Chair) Prof. Louise Lennihan (Co-ordinator for Physical Anthropology Prof. Eric Delson) Phone: 1 (212) 817-8005 Fax: 1 (212) 817-1501 E-mail: anthropology@gc.cuny.edu OR eric.delson@lehman.cuny.edu Affiliations: American Museum of Natural History; New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology; Wildlife Conservation Society Mission: Graduate (doctoral) study in biological anthropology, with a focus on evolutionary and ecological primatology, and on primate conservation. The program is a member of the New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology (NYCEP). Principal Research Programs: Primate (including human) comparative morphology, evolution, paleontology, paleoanthropology, systematics, development, behavior and conservation, population genetics; human skeletal biology, growth and adaptation; forensic anthropology. Training Opportunities: The CUNY Anthropology Program follows a four-field approach to the teaching of Anthropology. This description only relates to the subdiscipline of physical anthropology. Matriculated students are automatically members of NYCEP, an integrated and overarching training program which unites students and faculty of CUNY, Columbia University (CU), and New York University (NYU), in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Students in this program take courses at the three universities, attend seminars that draw upon the staff of all five cooperating institutions, and have the opportunity to engage in original research in laboratories, museums, and in the field. Only the Ph. D. is offered, although "en route" M. A. and M. Phil. degrees can be obtained. Financial Aid: CUNY offers a full financial aid programs with regular fellowships as well as special opportunities for minority students. Members of groups underrepresented in science are especially encouraged to apply. Appropriate undergraduate majors for applicants include biological anthropology and other life sciences. NYCEP provides funds for research and travel support and coordinates course programs and seminars. Students also send a one-page tracking form to NYCEP; this is available from the web site or from Dr. Delson (see below). Applications can be obtained from the NYCEP or university web site or admissions office. Annual application deadline is January 15. Number of Staff: 21 physical (50 in Anthropology Ph. D.
