City University of New York

Core NYCEP faculty at the City University of New York are based in the Physical Anthropology section of the doctoral program in Anthropology at The Graduate Center, with a strong emphasis on evolutionary approaches to understanding human and nonhuman primate biology. All doctoral students in Physical Anthropology at CUNY participate in NYCEP. CUNY faculty advise students and conduct research in paleoanthropology, paleoprimatology, human and primate population genetics, primate behavior and nutritional ecology, hominin behavior and paleoecology, comparative and functional morphology, bioarchaeology, systematics, geometric morphometrics, forensic and skeletal biology, and conservation biology.

Physical anthropology at CUNY covers a wide range of topics, with a strong emphasis on evolutionary approaches to understanding human and nonhuman primate biology. Current research involves: comparative morphology, scientific visualization and 3D morphometrics, paleontology, biogeography, and systematics of humans and other primates; primate ecology and its relationships to both social behavior and to conservation problems; the biology of modern humans; skeletal growth and development, osteology, and bone biology; craniofacial development and comparative anatomy; and forensic anthropology.

The doctoral program in physical anthropology at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York is itself a consortium system. Each of the core faculty is based at one of the CUNY system's senior colleges (see individual college Anthropology Department pages at Brooklyn College, Hunter College, Lehman College, and Queens College).
