Greetings forest entomologists,
I expect to have a graduate fellowship available beginning in summer or fall of 2009 in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Program of the Department of Biological Sciences at Dartmouth College. The successful candidate will (1) participate in funded studies that are broadly organized around the theme of forest pestilence and (2) develop their own Ph.D. research program.
Fellowships are also available to work in other laboratories within the EEB program at Dartmouth.
