GRADUATE POSITIONS IN INTEGRATIVE ECOLOGY, EVOLUTION, BEHAVIOR, AND ORGANISMAL BIOLOGY
The Integrative Organismal Biology (IOB) group at Virginia Tech is a diverse group of scientists studying the behavior, ecology, evolution, and physiology of animals. IOB faculty are currently seeking talented and highly motivated graduate students to join the Ph.D. program in Biological Sciences beginning in Fall 2013. IOB is part of the growing Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior group in Virginia Tech’s Department of Biological Sciences. Members of IOB also interact frequently with scientists studying biology and related disciplines in other departments across campus, including Engineering Science, Entomology, Fish and Wildlife Conservation, and Statistics. Faculty Research Interests: Lisa Belden (Community ecology: http://www.faculty.biol.vt.edu/belden/) Dana Hawley (Animal disease ecology: http://www.biol.vt.edu/faculty/hawley/) Joel McGlothlin (Evolutionary genetics, ecology, and physiology: http://www.faculty.biol.vt.edu/mcglothlin/) Ignacio Moore (Mechanisms of behavior in free-living vertebrates: http://www.faculty.biol.vt.edu/moore/) John Phillips (Sensory ecology and the neural basis of behavior: http://www.faculty.biol.vt.edu/phillips/behavlab2/phillipsmain.html) Kendra Sewall (Animal behavior and neurobiology: http://www.biol.vt.edu/faculty/sewall/index.html) Jeff Walters (Behavioral ecology and conservation biology of birds: http://www.faculty.biol.vt.edu/walters/) Applications for fall admission should be received by December 31, 2012 for full consideration. Applicants will be considered for financial aid in the form of graduate teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and fellowships. We strongly encourage prospective students to contact a faculty member as soon as possible to discuss their specific research interests.
