The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Arkansas is actively recruiting Distinguished Doctoral Fellows (DDF) and Doctoral Academy Fellows (DAF) to begin graduate work in August 2010. The Distinguished Fellowships have a range of $30,000 to $40,000 for a 12-month stipend, and the DAFs have a range of $20,000 to $30,000 for a 12-month stipend. Both are available for up to 4 years of support based on satisfactory progress. Fellowships will require research and/or teaching depending upon the major professor chosen. In addition, fellowships include a full waiver of tuition, health care benefits, and most fees. Outstanding students from all biological disciplines are encouraged to apply. Selection will be based on undergraduate GPA, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and undergraduate (B.S.) research experience or graduate (M.S.) research experience. Applicants should contact faculty members in the Department of Biological Sciences whose research they may be interested in directly at http://biology.uark.edu/ For more information on departmental requirements, see http://biology.uark.edu/1255.htm or http://www.uark.edu/depts/gradinfo/recruit/funding/fellowships.html for general requirements. DAF applications can be made at any time and will be reviewed as received. Review of DDF applications will begin on 16 January 2010 with decisions made by the end of February. Those qualified applicants not chosen for a DDF will be offered a DAF.
