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 students to enter the Ph.D. program for the academic
year 2009-2010. The BEES program consists of over 50 faculty
members. At University of Maryland the participating departments
include: Animal and Avian Sciences, Anthropology, Biology,
Environmental Science and Technology, Cell Biology and Molecular
Genetics, Computer Sciences, Entomology, Geology, and Plant Science
and Landscape Architecture. 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 also have a
jointly funded graduate fellowship program with the Smithsonian
Institution for students planning on being co-advised by a SI adjunct
faculty member along with a BEES UM faculty member. Research Areas of
Smithsonian adjunct faculty members interested in co-advising
students include Paleobiology, Genetics, and Molecular Systematics.
As a long-term member of the Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS)
we encourage and fund participation by our BEES graduate students in
these field courses.
