Fully funded openings for doctoral students are available in the Department
of Biology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Department of Biology at Case Western Reserve University has a very
active ecology and evolutionary biology group. Our faculty have research
programs in ecological theory (Karen Abbott and Robin Snyder), plant
community ecology and phylogenetics (Jean Burns), amphibian ecology,
evolution and conservation (Mike Benard), biotic and abiotic drivers of
adaptive evolution (Ryan Martin), and consequences of climate and land-use
change (Sarah Diamond). Nearby opportunities for research and collaboration
exist at the University Farm, Holden Arboretum, Cleveland Museum of Natural
History and the large Cleveland Metroparks system.
Case Western Reserve University is one of the nation's top universities and
has a very strong research focus. It is located about 5 miles east of
downtown Cleveland, a mid-sized city with world-class cultural institutions,
a fabulous restaurant scene, and exciting professional sports.
Interested applicants should contact faculty members that they are
