Graduate Fellowships in Ecology and Evolution, University of Alaska
The University of Alaska (UA) will be offering up to eight 1-2 year
graduate fellowships for high-quality incoming students conducting
research in the general areas of biogeography,landscape & spatial
genetics, plant-microbial interactions, ecology & genetics of invasive
species, and the influence of species interactions on range expansions.
Fellowships include a stipend of approximately $21,000/year plus health
insurance and a tuition waiver. This fellowship program is part of a
broader Alaska EPSCoR initiative to fund integrative science entitled
“Resilience and Vulnerability in a Rapidly Changing North: The
Integration of Physical, Biological and Social Processes.” This program
aims to fund integrative science concerning socio-ecological
sustainability in the rapidly transforming northern regions.
The state of Alaska offers unparalleled beauty and untouched landscapes,
as well as unique research opportunities. Research at UA includes topics
such as adaptations to our extreme climate, plant-mycorrhizal biology,
invasive species biology, climate change, how interactions among species
influence community composition, the unique evolutionary history of
organisms influenced by glacial cycles and migrations from both North
America and Asia, and the interactions between ecosystems and the people
living in them.
UA offers both Masters and PhD programs. Biology programs at all three UA
campuses (Fairbanks, Anchorage and Juneau) offer the potential to interact
closely with dedicated faculty and motivated peers. For more information on
faculty and their research interests please see
