Department of Anthropology colleagues
Burke Museum Archaeology staff Prospective Graduate Students I am looking for highly-motivated students with strong interests in Southeast Asian archaeology and/or public archaeology. Please send me an email if you’re interested joining our graduate program. Prospective graduate students should first
browse the Department of Anthropology Graduate
Admissions Website, which has
information about the admission
requirements, scholarships, logistics, and
support, and faculty and graduate student
research interests. We rank applicants to
the graduate program on the basis of the
strength of their research statement, fit
with faculty areas of expertise, and on
their track record of academic achievement
as shown through letters of recommendation,
grades, test scores and examples of written
work. Graduate students can be offered teaching
or research positions to help support their
studies as available through the Department
of Anthropology. Additional support through
research assistant and work/study positions
Burke Museum, and for those who need to
learn a foreign language, FLAS fellowships
may also be available. Because internal
funding is extremely limited, we encourage
applicants to apply for external support,
through NSF or other foundations. Anthropology PhD Advisees: Emily
