Colleagues: Applications are invited to graduate programs in ecology, evolution, and environmental science at Miami University, Oxford, OH, for fall 2014. We offer an interdisciplinary PhD program in Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology (EEEB) (http://www.cas.miamioh.edu/eeeb), and MS degrees in the natural sciences with certificates in ecology ( http://www.cas.miamioh.edu/ecology) and applied statistics ( http://www.units.miamioh.edu/sta). Our Master of Environmental Science (MEn) degree is recognized as a Professional Science Master's (PSM) program that emphasizes problem solving, interdisciplinary team projects, and professional experience (http://www.cas.miamioh.edu/men). Teaching and research assistantships are available in the MS and PhD programs, and financial aid is available for the professional MEn program. Over 50 faculty members from 20 departments, centers, and institutes participate in these interdisciplinary graduate programs.
Students may pursue research in aquatic ecology, terrestrial ecosystem ecology, landscape ecology, conservation biology and genetics, statistical ecology, environmental toxicology, animal behavior, and evolutionary biology. Research is supported by state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, including the Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics and the Center for Aquatic and Watershed Sciences, as well as several local field sites, including the Ecology Research Center, over 1200 acres of university-owned natural areas, and nearby Hueston Woods State Park. Miami University is consistently ranked nationally as a public university with excellence in undergraduate education and select graduate programs. For more information about the EEEB program, contact Hank Stevens ( hstev...@miamioh.edu); inquires into the professional MEn program should be directed to Tom Crist (thomas.cr...@miamioh.edu). -- Thomas O.
