In
2007 a total of 98 fellowship
appointments were recorded by the National Museum
of Natural History, including 1 whose registered
fellowship was terminated, not successfully
completed or declined.
Following
is the 2007 list of Smithsonian fellows, research
students and scholars included in Natural History's
graduate community. The list also includes those
awarded a Smithsonian Fellowship this year,
although the appointment may not begin until
next year. In 2007 the fellows community included
151 fellows, graduate and post graduates
including (41) fellows, (44) visiting
students and scholars, (11) external fellows
as well as those with an academic appointment
at Research Student (55).
Fellows
include graduate students as well as pre- and
postdoctoral; senior and community scholars
selected for an academic appointment at Smithsonian's
National Museum of Natural History. Some fellows
are in-residence full time while others are
mainly off-site, but working under the guidance
of an NMNH scientist and visiting the Museum.
The
term "Smithsonian Fellow" is
used only for those individuals awarded a Smithsonian
fellowship. The term Visiting Student
is used for predoctoral level students funded
through other grants and the term Visiting
Scientist/Visiting Scholar designates postdoctoral
level researchers. Students and scholars in-residence
at NMNH but whose funding is from an external
source are called External Fellow.
The
title of Research Student is an academic
appointment awarded by the NMNH. This appointment
type encompasses those individuals who are actively
pursuing their education at a college or university
but have not yet achieved professional status.
The formal designation "Student" acknowledges
active collaboration between an individual and
NMNH staff. Research Students can be undergraduate
or graduate level students.
This list includes name and affiliated institution
during their appointment, the title of their
fellowship research, the name of the supervisor/sponsoring
NMNH staff, the assigned NMNH unit/office in
which the research is being conducted, and the
dates of the appointment.
