Doctoral Fellowships and other assistantships available for entering Ph.D. students in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Louisiana.
We will be awarding University of Louisiana Fellowships and Board of Regents Fellowships to Ph.D. students entering Fall 2010. UL Fellows are funded for 3-4 years and have limited teaching responsibilities, while BoR Fellows are funded for 4 years and have no formal teaching duties. Stipends are as high as $26,000 per year (with tuition waiver). Eligibility requirements include US citizenship (or permanent residency) or degree from a US institution. We will also have teaching and research assistantships available for incoming Ph.D. students as well. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to directly contact prospective advisors. The Department of Biology has approximately 70 graduate students and 25 graduate faculty members conducting research on a wide variety of topics. My research involves understanding the population ecology of a wide range of taxa (e.g. insects, birds, plants) through a combination of empirical and theoretical analyses. Anyone interested in more information about applying to work in my lab can contact me at [email protected]. Contact information and research interests of all faculty can be found at our departmental web site (http://biology.louisiana.edu/). Our graduate program brochure is also posted at our Ecology Center's site (http://ulceet.com/site90.php). Anyone interested in applying to work with faculty other than myself can contact that faculty member directly.
