The Department of Plant Biology at the University of Vermont has graduate teaching fellowships available for well-qualified students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. degree. The current stipend for a Ph.D. student is $23,000 and includes a tuition waiver. The department has a deep history and current prominence in research on acid rain and climate change. Faculty in our department have broad interests that include ecological modeling, fire ecology, forest ecology, global climate change, ecology of invasive species, and theoretical ecology. The University of Vermont is located near natural areas ideal for ecological research, including Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains in Vermont and the Adirondacks in New York.
