The Graduate Program in Ecology, Evolution & Conservation Biology at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) invites applications for admission to our PhD and MS programs for Fall 2019. A core group of collaborative faculty within the Department of Biological Sciences and School for Earth, Environment and Society has research strengths in:
* Population and Community Ecology (climate change, plant-animal interactions, food web dynamics, evolutionary ecology) * Conservation Biology (invasion biology, habitat assessment and modeling, landscape ecology and restoration, molecular ecology and conservation genetics) * Aquatic Ecology (behavior, ecotoxicology, evolution, microbial ecology, limnology, and fisheries, wetland research and watershed modeling) * Geospatial Analyses (remote sensing, GIS, in experimental contexts for landscape, community and population studies) The Departmental Graduate Program comprises approximately 100 students supported by research and teaching assistantships. Bowling Green State University (18,000 students) is at the western end of Lake Erie, and in close proximity to remnant oak-savanna, prairies and fragmented forest-agroecosytem complexes. Bowling Green also features a low cost of living and is within easy driving distance of Columbus, Ann Arbor, Chicago, and Cleveland. For Fall 2019 consideration, students should contact faculty soon and expect to have completed applications by Feb 1.
