The Graduate Program in Ecology, Evolution & Conservation Biology at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) invites applications for admission to our PhD and MS programs for Fall 2015. A core group of collaborative faculty within the departments of Biological Sciences and Environmental Science has research strengths in: * Population and Community Ecology (climate change, plant-animal interactions, food web dynamics, evolutionary ecology) * Conservation Biology (invasion biology, habitat assessment and modeling, landscape ecology and restoration, molecular ecology and conservation genetics) * Aquatic Ecology (behavior, evolution, microbial ecology, limnology, and fisheries, wetland research) * Geospatial Analyses (remote sensing, GIS, in experimental contexts for landscape, community and population studies) The Departmental Graduate Program comprises approximately 100 students supported by research and teaching assistantships. Bowling Green State University (18,000 students) is at the western end of Lake Erie, and in close proximity to remnant oak-savanna, prairies and fragmented forest- agroecosytem complexes. With a low cost of living and recognized as one of the best cities in Ohio (ohiomagazine), Bowling Green is also within easy driving distance of Columbus, Ann Arbor, Chicago, and Cleveland. Interested students should identify and communicate with potential faculty research advisors from the list below. Application deadline for Fall 2015 is Feb 1.
