Graduate Fellowships in Social Behavior and Evolutionary Modeling

We are seeking self-motivated and creative graduate students to participate in an NSF-funded graduate training program (IGERT). Participants will earn a PhD from one of the participating departments: the School of Biological Sciences and Department of Anthropology at Washington State University, or the Department of Anthropology at the University of Washington. This program offers unique opportunities for biological graduate students interested in social behavior and evolutionary modeling to develop interdisciplinary research projects and interact with anthropologists sharing similar interests. This graduate training program focuses on the evolutionary causes and consequences of animal social behavior, including but not limited to cultural evolution, and a wide diversity of thesis research projects is possible (including empirical work on organisms ranging from insects to primates). Students will spend some time at the University of Washington in Seattle as well as at the Washington State University campus in Pullman, Washington. Generous stipend and research support for two years, plus the possibility of a third year of support, will be provided through our continuing NSF grant. Interested students should go to http:// depts.washington.edu/ipem/) for more information. Prospective students are also encouraged to contact one or more of the participating faculty directly - in biology these include Mike Webster (mwebter@wsu.edu), Mike Alfaro (alfaro@wsu.edu), Richard Gomulkiewicz (gomulki@wsu.edu) and Paul Verrell (verrell@wsu.edu).
