As a result of his research, Miller received a 2005–06 Faculty Fellowship, which he used to study Elephant Bird (Aepyornis) extinction and environmental change in Madagascar. During his fellowship, Miller also received the 2005 Easterbrook Distinguished Scientist Award as an "individual who has shown unusual excellence in published research."
