GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY The Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolution <http://www.stonybrook.edu/ecoevo/index.html>at Stony Brook University <http://www.stonybrook.edu/ecoevo/index.html> is recruiting doctoral and master's level graduate students for Fall 2019.
The department has a long and distinguished history, being one of the first of its kind. It currently has a productive and diverse faculty working on broad array of questions involving microbes, plants, vertebrate and invertebrate animals and whole ecosystems. Field locales span the globe from the old and new world tropics to the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions, as well as the uplands, wetlands and coastal areas of Long Island and nearby New York City. Upon admission, PhD students are guaranteed teaching assistantships upon acceptance, with additional support available through fellowships and research assistantships, as they become available. The deadlines for applications are* Dec. 1, 2018* for the PhD program. Admissions to the MA program are rolling until *April 15, 2019.* Below is a listing of current local program faculty to whom questions can be directed. It is* highly* recommended that PhD applicants contact potential advisors before submitting your application. For questions or assistance with the application process please e-mail our Graduate Program coordinator, Melissa Cohen [email protected]. DEPARTMENTAL FACULTY H.
