Interested in a PhD in Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and Behavior? The EEB subprogram at the City University of New York is recruiting doctoral students!
EEB faculty research spans diverse topics across ecology, behavior, evolution and systematics to understand the relationships of organisms, populations and communities to their historic and contemporary environments, with particular strengths in using molecular and computational approaches to solving evolutionary questions. Doctoral students conduct research with faculty mentors across eight campuses of the City University of New York and the American Museum of Natural History. Applications are due January 1, 2018. Please see instructions on our website (gc.cuny.edu/biology/eeb) and contact Subprogram Chair Dr. Elizabeth Alter ([email protected]) with any questions. NB: Students applying to work with a faculty mentor at the AMNH must also submit a fellowship application by December 15, 2017. Please see our website for a full list of faculty (gc.cuny.edu/biology).
