The Department of Biology at the University of Virginia is
> currently recruiting PhD students in Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior
> (EEB). Graduate training in EEB at the University of Virginia emphasizes
> research creativity, independence, and collaboration. We are looking
> for students who bring their own ideas to the conversation, and
> who are willing to explore and master new techniques to research
> those ideas. Our culture provides exceptional opportunities for close
> interaction with faculty both in a student¡¯s home laboratory and across
> the department. Many students conduct their research at the Mountain
> Lake Biological Station (https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmlbs.virginia.edu&data=02%7C01%7Cmiranda.l.davis%40uconn.edu%7C33abf47790cb4e2fff6e08d74274da06%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C1%7C637050941952390453&sdata=Q8ERJpyLIPksz2IplZVlIYtVNtGVnGekAqv%2F6zdoavI%3D&reserved=0) where they interact
> closely with scientists and students from all over the world.

> Research in the EEB group at UVA spans a wide range of techniques and
> organisms. We encourage prospective students to reach out to faculty
> to discuss potential research projects and the application process
> (applications due December 1, 2019). Faculty currently recruiting
> students are:
>
> Alan O. Bergland: Evolutionary ecology and ecological genetics of rapid
> adaptation in Drosophila and Daphnia.
>
> Butch Brodie: Evolution of social behavior and coevoluionary dynamics
> in beetles, snakes, and newts.
>
> Bob Cox: Natural and sexual selection, evolutionary genetics, and
> evolutionary endocrinology in lizards.
