Review literature, meet with stakeholders, collect feedback and pilot data, design the product/approach, collect summative data about the ways in which stakeholders receive or use the culminating product, and write for dissemination.
  • Attend and complete required work for remote and in-person learning opportunities provided by the Civic Science Fellows Program.
  • Contribute to civic science initiatives in the Research and Evaluation department by attending departmental meetings, participating in planning and data analysis, and contributing to report and grant writing.

The expected salary for the Civic Science Fellow is $70,000/annual. The AMNH offers an extensive benefits package designed to meet the needs of our dedicated and diverse community.
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.
