Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology, Evolution and Genetics

ANU has exceptionally strong academic programs in evolutionary biology. The Ecology, Evolution and Genetics research program is broad based, providing access to a wide range of technical facilities and intellectual perspectives to encourage inter-disciplinary research. It covers the full diversity of ecology (from pure to applied and mathematical to empirical), evolution (from population genetics to the evolution of life-history and behavioural traits), and phylogenetic systematics (from descriptive taxonomy to phylogenetic analysis based on morphological and molecular data).Most of our staff are in the Research School of Biology, but there is a wide range of expertise in the Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies, and related areas within ANU and many of the Divisions of CSIRO. The staff have a wide range of professional experience including animal, plant and microbial ecology and evolution; behavioural, physiological and theoretical ecology; conservation biology; molecular evolution; population genetics; animal and plant systematics; information technology; environmental management; geography; and prehistory. In addition to Australia, they have experience in many parts of the world including Europe, Africa, North America and the Pacific region.
