The Department of Biology at Miami University is seeking to recruit students for our Master’s and PhD programs.
We have a strong core group of faculty working in ecology and evolution creating a great community for our students, supported by modern facilities in microscopy, genomics, and a research field station in Oxford Ohio.
Additional facilities for ecological and botanical research include the Herbarium in Oxford and The Conservatory at the nearby Hamilton campus. Our departmental program covers all levels of organization within biology.
The Department provides guaranteed support through teaching assistantships (which include tuition waivers), as well as through faculty research grants when available. Miami is located in Oxford Ohio, a college town with ample outdoor opportunities and a vibrant downtown. Miami currently enrolls approximately 2,300 graduate students and 20,500 undergraduates.
Faculty with interests in ecology and evolution that are actively recruiting students are below. We encourage prospective students to email potential mentors before applying
