PhD - Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior

The Program is a consortium of faculty from several Departments of the College of Natural Science whose research focuses on Behavior, Ecology, Evolution, Systematics and Genomics. These faculty supervise graduate students whose Ph.D. degrees are based on empirical and theoretical research in these areas. The Graduate Program in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior supports graduate students with grants and assistantships in addition to the resources generally available in the College of Natural Sciences.Faculty and graduate students in the Graduate Program in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior (EEB) work on a broad range of research subjects ranging from molecular evolution to ecosystem organization. Approaches to this research include fieldwork, laboratory experimentation, genomic analyses and mathematical modeling. We enjoy state-of-the-art research facilities at The University of Texas at Austin, as well as rich cultural life and exciting recreation opportunities in Austin.
