The Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in the Department of BioSciences at Rice University invites applications for admission into our PhD program. The department is home to a vibrant community of faculty, postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate scholars in ecology and evolution. Our program has particular strengths in population and community ecology, behavioral ecology, conservation biology, evolutionary ecology, speciation, and evolutionary genetics and genomics.
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, genomics, and translational research. Completed applications should be received by December 31 to ensure full consideration. There is no application fee for US citizens and permanent residents. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact potential faculty advisors before applying. We particularly encourage applicants from under-represented groups.
