Research Mentors will work with students through either the Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP) or Lang Science Scholars program. Research Mentors will supervise students in the laboratory and guide them through a research project that is either an active project of the scientist's or a project within the scientist's scope of work, while also supporting the students' professional trajectories.

Research Mentors may also be responsible for supporting student advisory sessions, interviews, and participating in mentorship workshops.

  • Assist students in creating and presenting a scientific poster, talk, and paper.
  • Conduct email and in-person check-ins with YI staff.
  • Attend mentor professional developments (PDs) and other required trainings for part-time Museum staff.

The expected salary for the Science Research Program Mentor is $53.99/hour. This position is overtime-eligible.
Pay will be determined based on several factors. The hiring range for the position at commencement is based on the type of work and the scope of responsibilities. The salary and placement offered is based on a number of individualized factors, including, but not limited to, skills, knowledge, training, education, credentials, areas of specialization, and depth and scope of experience.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a science-related field.
  • Must have a record of and be actively engaged in research.
  • Must have lab or research privileges in an AMNH research facility.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Master's degree or PhD in science.
