Our Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior (EEB) program provides training in the evolutionary, ecology, and behavioral processes that underlie patterns of life and diversity.

Our faculty research frontiers fields such as population genetics and genomics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, evolution of development, phylogenetics, community and ecosystem ecology, ecology and evolution of infectious disease and symbiosis, microbial ecology and evolution, invasion biology, behavioral endocrinology, behavioral genetics, and sensory processes.

We focus on discoveries in basic science while also searching for research applications. We seek to train innovative, independent scientists who publish in top-tier journals and win prestigious awards while preparing for rewarding careers in and out of academia.
