Overview

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.

In a US News and World Report called America's Best Graduate Schools: 2008 Edition, the EEB graduate program was ranked #8 for programs in Ecology / Evolutionary Biology.  If you are considering applying, please take the time to become familiar with the faculty and facilities described on our web site. Successful applicants generally contact one or more faculty members before they apply to find an appropriate sponsor.

Many applicants also visit us during the winter or spring in order to meet faculty and students, and to see the University and the City of Austin.  Please contact us if you are thinking of a visit so that we can help you make the most of it. We are pleased that you are interested in our program, and encourage you to apply.

Please contact us if we can answer questions or be of any other help.
