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, speciation, evolutionary radiation) and various fundamental processes (adaptation, ecological specialization, symbiosis, social interactions, origins of multicellularity, genome evolution) in animal, plant, and microbial systems.

Please visit http://www.vanderbilt.edu/evolution to find out more about our research group. Online application to the graduate program is FREE and can be filed electronically at http://sitemason.vanderbilt.edu/biosci/grad/application. The deadline for submission of applications is JANUARY 15TH.

Our E&E group shares one floor of a modern building, complete with our own DNA sequencing/genotyping 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 (~$27,000/year) and are trained in a highly interactive scientific community.

The research interests of our 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

Seth Bordenstein (s.bordenstein@vanderbilt.edu) — evolutionary genomics of
animal-microbe interactions, microbial ecology of bacteriophage and
intracellular bacteria, infectious speciation, Wolbachia

Dan Funk (daniel.j.funk@vanderbilt.edu) — speciation, ecological
specialization, phylogeny, evolutionary genetics, 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

For further information on research and graduate study at Vanderbilt, please
