Train to become a paleoanthropologist in the greatest
hominid hunting ground in the world…
Co-directed by the George Washington University’s Center for
the Advanced Study of Hominid Paleobiology and the National Museums of Kenya,
the Koobi Fora Field School is a credit-earning collaborative
paleoanthropological research and training program in Northern Kenya. The Program includes daily hands-on work, a
series of lectures, specialized laboratory exercises, and one-on-one training
with senior researchers and instructors.
Through this combination of learning opportunities in a remote and
remarkable “classroom” students receive an intense and unforgettable research
experience. Spaces are limited so apply early to secure your spot!
Student Funding Opportunity:
Students applying for the field school also have the opportunity to
apply for an NSF International Research Experience for Students fellowship,
which provides funds to cover the cost of the field school and a stipend. Fellowship students are required to complete
a 3-week online course prior to the start of the field school, and participate
in a 2-day research workshop in Fall 2017.
The applications for the NSF
International Research Fellowship Experience for Students are due on March 10th.
