We seek highly motivated graduate students to join an integrated group of biologists in the Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (CEEB) at the University of Oregon. Our members have a broad range of interests such as host-pathogen interactions, the evolution of molecular systems, global climate change, microbial ecology, biogeochemistry, the evolution of phenotypes in the wild, theoretical ecology and many others. More details on our group can be found at http://ceeb.uoregon.edu/.
CEEB is an integrated component of a highly interactive group of scientists in the Department of Biology, and our research Centers and Institutes also facilitate robust interactions among members of the Anthropology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Geography and Psychology Departments (see http://biology.uoregon.edu/lifesci/). Many of our faculty share funded research programs across disciplines, and perform work all over the world. Our integrative approach to graduate education is supported by numerous NIH and NSF training grants, as is exemplified by our very successful NSF IGERT training grant in Evolution, Development and Genomics (http://evodevo.uoregon.edu/). The University of Oregon is one of the top research institutions in the country, with outstanding laboratory facilities on campus, and easy access to numerous field sites from the Pacific Ocean to the Cascade Mountains and the high desert of Eastern Oregon. Eugene is a very livable city that is consistantly voted one of the top ten greenest and most active in the U.S. Applications to the Department of Biology can be submitted online through http://biology.uoregon.edu/graduate/apply.php For more information on CEEB contact Brendan Bohannan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Bill Cresko ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), or individual faculty members in whose research you are interested. Specific inquiries about the graduate application process can be directed to the Biology Department Graduate Recruiting Coordinator, Lynne Romans ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
