Description:
The Department of Biology at Miami University is seeking to recruit students for our Master’s and PhD programs.

We have a strong core group of faculty working in ecology and evolution creating a great community for our students, supported by modern facilities in microscopy, genomics, & a research field station in Oxford, Ohio. Additional facilities for ecological & botanical research include the Herbarium in Oxford & The Conservatory at the nearby Hamilton campus. Our departmental program covers all levels of organization within biology.

The Department provides guaranteed support through teaching assistantships (which include tuition waivers), as well as through faculty research grants when available. Miami is located in Oxford, Ohio, a college town with ample outdoor opportunities & a vibrant downtown.
