Doctoral Fellowships Available in Evolutionary Biology

Doctoral Fellowships and other assistantships available for entering Ph.D. students in areas related to animal behavior and evolutionary biology at the University of Louisiana

The Department of Biology will be awarding University of Louisiana Fellowships and Board of Regents Fellowships to Ph.D. students entering Spring and Fall 2017. UL Fellows are funded for 3-4 years and have limited teaching responsibilities, while BoR Fellows are funded for 4 years and have no formal teaching duties. Stipends are up to $30,000 per year (plus tuition waiver). Eligibility requirements include US citizenship (or permanent residency) or degree from a US institution. We will also have teaching assistantships available for incoming Ph.D. students. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to directly contact prospective advisors, whose contact information and research interests can be found at our departmental web site (http://biology.louisiana.edu/), which also has a link to our graduate programs (http://biology.louisiana.edu/programs/graduate). The Department of Biology has approximately 75 graduate students and 25 graduate faculty members conducting research on a wide variety of topics. More information on application is available from Dr. Scott C. France (france@louisiana.edu).
