The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Rice University (Houston, TX) invites applications for admission into our graduate program (M.S. and Ph.D. degrees) for August 2012. While this is not our traditional admissions cycle, our department has recently acquired resources to support additional students beginning Fall 2012. Faculty research interests span population and community ecology, ecological genetics, and the evolution of genes and genomes (see http://eeb.rice.edu/faculty.html). Particular areas of emphasis include the eco/evolutionary dynamics of inter-specific interactions, the ecology and evolution of introgressive hybridization, and molecular and computational evolutionary genomics. Prospective students are encouraged to contact one or more faculty members with matching interests. Please include a CV, brief statement of purpose, and contact information for three references.
