Ph.D. Graduate Student Opportunity at Dartmouth

The Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Dartmouth College invites applications from prospective Ph.D. students interested in ecology and evolution in aquatic ecosystems. I am especially interested in students who want to study linkages between species and ecosystem processes (http://www.dartmouth.edu/~btaylor/). Generous financial support is available in the form of a Dartmouth Fellowship, health care, and a substantial yearly discretionary fund for research and travel that are guaranteed for 5 years. Applicants with excellent records and who demonstrate financial need are also eligible for a U.S. Department of Education Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) Fellowship http://www.dartmouth.edu/~gradstdy/GAANNAWD.html. Detailed information about the program, and access to online applications, are available at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~biology/graduate/eeb/

Students interested in alpine or polar ecosystems (e.g., Alaska, Greenland, Iceland) may also be admitted and participate in a NSF IGERT training grant with Dartmouth and the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (http://www.crrel.usace.army.mil/). More information on this program is available at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~igert/

For further information send a 1) two page letter articulating your research interests, 2) your CV, 3) the names and contact information for 3 references, 4) and a phone number to Brad Taylor (brad.taylor@dartmouth.edu), Department of Biological Sciences, Gilman Life Science Laboratories, Hanover, NH 03755. Completed applications will be considered beginning December 1st. Promising applicants will be hosted for interviews in mid January.

Dartmouth is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and encourages applications from women and members of minority groups.
