GRADUATE POSITIONS IN INTEGRATIVE ECOLOGY, EVOLUTION, BEHAVIOR, AND ORGANISMAL BIOLOGY

The Integrative Organismal Biology (IOB) group at Virginia Tech is a diverse
group of scientists studying the behavior, ecology, evolution, and
physiology of animals. IOB faculty are currently seeking talented and highly
motivated graduate students to join the Ph.D. program in Biological Sciences
beginning in Fall 2013.

IOB is part of the growing Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior group in
Virginia Tech's Department of Biological Sciences. Members of IOB also
interact frequently with scientists studying biology and related disciplines
in other departments across campus, including Engineering Science,
Entomology, Fish and Wildlife Conservation, and Statistics.

Applications for fall admission should be received by December 31, 2012 for
full consideration. Applicants will be considered for financial aid in the
form of graduate teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and
fellowships. We strongly encourage prospective students to contact a faculty
member as soon as possible to discuss their specific research interests.
