Texas State University 2010 Summer Predoctoral Fellowship Program Texas State Universitys Graduate College is pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for the 2010 Summer Predoctoral Fellowship Program. An overview is provided below and the complete announcement and application may be viewed at http://www.gradcollege.txstate.edu/Predoc_Fellow.html.
The predoctoral fellowship program brings doctoral candidates from other institutions that have completed their course work and are in the process of writing their dissertations (ABD), to spend June and July on the Texas State campus working with faculty and students in their field. Participants may also be considered as potential candidates for future faculty positions as appropriate. The program is only available to doctoral students who are U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Interested parties should visit The Department of Biologys website ((http://www.bio.txstate.edu/) to examine potential faculty advisors. Currently, we offer a strong environment in evolutionary ecology or ecology. Potential faculty includes: Caitlin Gabor (Behavioral ecologist), Noland Martin (Plant population genetics), and Chris Nice (Speciation in insects and phylogeography). Jim Ott (Insect-plant interactions and ecological genetics), Susan Schwinning (Plant ecologist), Joe Veech (Wildlife ecologist). The graduate student must secure a commitment from a Texas State faculty member to serve as their mentor for the summer program prior to submitting an application. Please start by contacting the faculty member you are interested in working with and then proceeding from there.
