UCLA graduate studies in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
 
 
 
 The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCLA invites 
 
 applications for graduate studies. The department has excellent 
 
 support packages for Ph.D. students and outstanding opportunities for 
 
 research within the department, university and UC system. Graduate 
 
 students can take advantage of the University of California Natural 
 
 Reserve System, the UCLA Center for Tropical Research, field courses 
 
 through the Organization for Tropical Studies, and UC-MEXUS, which 
 
 facilitates collaborative research in Mexico. We encourage interested 
 
 students to email individual faculty members. For more information 
 
 about the department, see http://www.eeb.ucla.edu/
 
 
 
 The deadline for applications is December 15. On-line applications are 
 
 available at:
