The Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior (EEB) at the University
of Illinois is accepting applications for graduate students for admission
in Fall 2025. We accept applications for both the Master's (M.S.) and
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. We are an interactive group with
expertise in evolution, ecology, behavior, bioinformatics, conservation,
genetics & genomics, physiology, neuroscience, endocrinology, and
morphology. Students take many approaches to their studies including field
work on whole organisms, genomics/bioinformatics, lab experimentation,
and theory.

The department of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior is housed within
the School of Integrative Biology, home to over 30 faculty working
in ecology, behavior, conservation and evolution. The University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign offers state-of-the-art research facilities
such as the Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB), the Beckman Institute
(several research themes including bioimaging and Molecular Science and
Engineering) and the Grainger College of Engineering. Urbana-Champaign
is a pleasant, affordable, university town with good music and
restaurants. It has its own airport and is close to three major
U.S. cities (Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis).

Students for the Ph.D. are typically funded for 5-years with a combination
of fellowships, research assistantships, and teaching assistantships. The
deadline for consideration is December 15, 2024. However, prospective
students should contact potential faculty advisors well in advance of
applying to discuss research interests and relevant qualifications. For
further information, see https://sib.illinois.edu/eeb/graduate_admissions.

Please note that we have many types of fellowships including fellowships
to help recruit students who come from groups that are under-represented
in science.

The following faculty are actively recruiting students:

Philip Anderson - Evolutionary biomechanics, functional morphology,
paleontology, vertebrates, invertebrates, plants.

Alison Bell - Evolution of behavior, individual differences in
behavior, behavioral genomics, neuroendocrine mechanisms, three-spine
sticklebacks. Email: alisonmb@illinois.edu
