Ecology, Evolution, Development, and Genomics at the University of Oregon
(UO).
The Department of Biology and the Institute of Ecology and Evolution (IEE)
at the University of Oregon seek outstanding applicants for the PhD
program. We are looking for highly motivated students who wish to develop
high-caliber research programs in any area of ecology and evolutionary
biology.
IEE consists of a dynamic, energetic, and highly interactive group of
faculty members, graduate students, and postdocs whose research interests
are world-renowned and span traditional disciplines. Particular strengths
of the group include molecular evolution, evolutionary genetics and
genomics, evolution of development, and microbial, population, community,
and ecosystems ecology. IEE maintains close ties with other research
institutes and departments on campus, including the Institutes of Molecular
Biology and Neuroscience, the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, and the
Departments of Chemistry, Geography, Computer Science, Geology, and
Landscape Architecture. Our integrative approach to research and graduate
education is supported by numerous grants, training grants, and fellowships
from both federal and privately-funded sources.
The University of Oregon is located in the heart of Eugene, a progressive
and very livable city of approximately 200,000 people. Eugene provides many
opportunities for intellectual and cultural stimulation, and its location
is ideal for the naturalist at heart being within an easy 1-2 hour drive of
both the Cascade Mountains and the Oregon Coast. It is consistently voted
one of the top ten greenest cities in the U.S.
