University of Maryland BEES Graduate Program The interdisciplinary graduate program in Behavior, Ecology, Evolution and Systematics (BEES) at University of Maryland is looking for exceptional Ph.D. candidates for the academic year 2007-2008. The BEES program consists of over 50 faculty members. At University of Maryland the participating departments include: Animal and Avian Sciences, Anthropology, Biology, Biological Resources Engineering, Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics, Computer Sciences, Entomology, Geology, Natural Resource Sciences, Philosophy, and Psychology. We also have adjunct faculty from a number of affiliated institutions from the surrounding DC metropolitan area including the Smithsonian Institute, National Cancer Institute, UM Center for Advanced Research in Biotechnology (UMBI), and USDA.
We offer Darwin Fellowships to outstanding candidates and have just instituted a new graduate fellowship program to fund graduate students planning on being co-advised by a member of the Smithsonian adjunct faculty along with a BEES UM faculty member. As a long-term member of the Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) we encourage and fund participation by our BEES graduate students in field courses offered by OTS.
