Ecology and Evolution - PhD

The Department of Biological Sciences offers an interactive environment for training graduate students in Ecology and Evolution. In addition to our dynamic group of faculty, our graduate program offers a number of less tangible features that can strongly influence the training of scientists:

• We have a highly interactive group of faculty and students. Opportunities for informal discussions and socialization between graduate students and faculty abound at weekly meetings of the E & E Journal Club and our Ecology and Evolution Seminar, as well as other informal journal clubs. By limiting the graduate program to a select group of students, our program offers a low graduate student to faculty ratio which ensures students one-on-one interaction with all members of their dissertation committees, as well as with scientists in the Ecology and Evolution community at large.
