The Biology Department Program at the University of Akron invites applications for Master's program in Biology, and PhD ... . The University of Akron is a state university located in the heart of Akron, Ohio, next to the scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP). The Biology Department emphasizes collaborative and integrative research, including a PhD program in Integrated Bioscience. Facilities include a live animal research center, 400 acre field station, and greenhouse. We have excellent relations with the CVNP and local metroparks, which provide access to over 40,000 acres of potential field sites within 40 miles. Our graduate students have been successful in finding employment in their specialties, including work as professors, consultants, field technicians, government agents (e.g., EPA, department of natural resources), park naturalists, and many others. The Department has a strong program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Areas of interest for graduate research include: life history evolution, mating systems, aquatic ecology, pollination biology, wetland ecology, conservation biology, physiological ecology, isotope ecology, behavioral evolution, spider biology, and evolutionary biomechanics. Akron is a great place to live, with a high quality of life. There are abundant natural amenities, including nearby metroparks and the CVNP, and ready access to many diverse cultural events in Akron and nearby Cleveland, including sports, several symphony orchestras, excellent museums, and the Blossom outdoor auditorium.
