Edward O. Wilson Biodiversity Postdoctoral Fellowship

About Edward O. Wilson Biodiversity Postdoctoral Fellowship

Through a generous founding gift from Edward O. Wilson, Faculty-Curator Emeritus and University Research Professor Emeritus, and with support from additional donors, the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ) at Harvard University has established the E.O. Wilson Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. This program supports postdoctoral researchers at MCZ 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.
