Subject: Graduate position: RiceU.EvolutionaryBiology

The Department of BioSciences at Rice University invites applications

for admission into our Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Ph.D. program.

BioSciences (https://biosciences.rice.edu) is home to a vibrant community

of faculty, postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate scholars in Ecology

and Evolution, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Genetics and Neuroscience. Our

EEB program has particular strengths in animal behavior, population

and community ecology, conservation biology, evolutionary ecology, and

evolutionary genetics and genomics. The following faculty members are

potentially accepting graduate students for Fall 2016:

Amy Dunham (aed4@rice.edu): tropical ecology, conservation biology,

evolutionary ecology applied to conservation issues in tropical

Scott Egan (scott.p.egan@rice.edu): evolution, speciation, population

genetics and genomics, plant-insect interactions, conservation and

Volker Rudolf (volker.rudolf@rice.edu): Community, population, &

evolutionary ecology, climate change, biodiversity, host-pathogen

Julia Saltz (julia.b.saltz@rice.edu): Development and evolution of

individual differences in behavior, behavioral genetics, evolutionary

feedbacks, phenotypic plasticity, learning. https://saltzlab.wordpress.com

Yousif Shamoo (shamoo@rice.edu): molecular evolution;

experimental evolution; drug resistance; adaptation;

We offer highly competitive financial support and light teaching

requirements for graduate students. We are located in Houston, Texas,

an exciting, diverse, and affordable city with world-class opportunities

for dining, arts, and entertainment and access to diverse terrestrial

and aquatic environments. Rice is located beside one of the country¢s

largest medical research centers, providing additional opportunities

in bioinformatics and genomics. Completed applications should be

received by January 10 to ensure full consideration. There is no

application fee for US citizens and permanent residents. Prospective

applicants are strongly encouraged to contact potential faculty

advisors before applying. Complete information about the EEB graduate

program, including application instructions, may be found at:
