Volunteering

The CAPHIL is staffed with graduate analysts from multiple subfields of Anthropology and a team of select undergraduate volunteers. We accept applications near the beginning of each term — watch our website for announcements.
The application window for FALL 2026 is now OPEN! We will accept statements of reference until 5 pm on Aug 31st. The background check process has been taking longer than expected, we appreciate your patience.
Applicants with the following qualities are sought:
- A passing grade in Human Osteology of B or better
- A statement of suitability as a volunteer is required, drawn from a UF faculty member, preferably in the Anthropology department
- Ability to attend a group or individual interview
- Ability to pass a background check is required
During the application window, please email us at poundlab@anthro.ufl.edu to request an application. Volunteer opportunities are limited by scheduling, but we try to accommodate as many applicants as we can.
