The Department of Biology will be awarding University of Louisiana Fellowships to Ph.D. students entering the doctoral program in January 2018 . UL Fellows are funded for 3-4 years and have limited teaching responsibilities. Fellowship stipends are $18,000 per academic year (plus tuition waiver), with additional support as research assistants available during the summer from many labs. Eligibility requirements include US citizenship (or permanent residency) or degree from a US institution. We will also have teaching assistantships available for incoming Ph.D. students. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to directly contact prospective advisors, whose contact information and research interests can be found at our departmental web site (http://biology.louisiana.edu/). Applicants interested in studying seabird ecology in relationship to coastal restoration are encouraged to contact Paul Leberg ([email protected]). The Department of Biology has approximately 70 graduate students and 25 graduate faculty members conducting research on a wide variety of topics. More information on application is available from Dr. Scott C. France ([email protected]). To receive full consideration, applications to the graduate program should be completed before 8/30/17.
