GRADUATE STUDIES IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION AT VANDERBILT, 2nd Announcement
The Department of Biological Sciences at Vanderbilt University seeks
interested and highly motivated graduate students to join a group of
laboratories with complementary research interests focusing on
ecological and genetic mechanisms of evolutionary diversification.
Ongoing research investigates all stages of diversification (population
differentiation, reproductive isolation, speciation, evolutionary
radiation) and several fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes
(adaptation, ecological specialization, symbiosis, social interactions).
Online application to the graduate program is FREE and can be filed
electronically at
for submission of applications is JANUARY 15TH.
Our group occupies a modern (2002) building complete with our own DNA
sequencing facility, numerous environmentally controlled rooms, and an
adjoining state-of-the-art greenhouse. Vanderbilt researchers enjoy the
participation of excellent undergraduates, the resources of a thriving
medical center and full access to a supercomputing facility. Our
beautiful campus is located in the heart of Nashville, a friendly and
inexpensive city situated amidst the lush rolling hills of biologically
diverse middle Tennessee. Graduate students receive generous stipends
and are trained in a highly interactive scientific community.
The research interests of the Ecology & Evolution faculty are listed
below. Please note that all faculty are actively recruiting new graduate
students:
Patrick Abbot (patrick.abbot@vanderbilt.edu) — social evolution,
symbioses, molecular evolutionary genetics in insects and microbes
Dan Funk (daniel.j.funk@vanderbilt.edu) — ecological specialization
and speciation, phylogenetics, herbivorous insect biology
Dave McCauley (david.e.mccauley@vanderbilt.edu) — population biology,
population structure, local adaptation in plants and insects
Antonis Rokas (antonis.rokas@vanderbilt.edu) — phylogenetics, molecular
evolution, comparative genomics, origins of multicellularity, evolution
of genetic pathways in fungi
Additionally, we are presently conducting a faculty search for an
evolutionary ecologist.
For further information on research and graduate study at Vanderbilt,
please consult our departmental web page at

I am a holder of Msc degree in environmental sciense from the university of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. I would like to pursue Phd studies. I have already obtained admission in the same university for a Phd in microbiolgy. However I do not have sponsorship.
I may change the subject of study if you wish to sponsor me in your chosen subject.
Thank you
