Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University
of Michigan, Ann Arbor, is seeking highly-motivated PhD applicants for
academic year 2008-2009. We have over 40 faculty members and 60 PhD
students who have a diverse range of interests and expertise, studying
topics that range from microbes to mastodons, tropics to tundra, and gene
evolution to ecosystem ecology (http://www.lsa.umich.edu/eeb/). EEB is
ranked among the top ten graduate schools in the USA in EEB.

PhD students are guaranteed five years of funding, which consists of a mix
of fellowships, Graduate Student Instructorships (GSIs), and Graduate
Student Research Assistantships (GSRAs). Students are initially assigned
two faculty advisors of their choice but can switch as research interests
develop.

Applications are due December 1, 2007. We encourage you to contact
individual faculty members in your areas of research interest. Students
apply through the Rackham Graduate School (web site). Details for
applications to EEB are available at our web site
