126 PhD programmes in Ecology

The graduate program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology - Biology spans >40 faculty across campus guiding students from the  Departments of Plant Biology-Microbiology and Biology at the University of Oklahoma.             

The Life Sciences programme from Masaryk University aims to educate students in the field of life sciences and to prepare them as highly qualified specialists for scientific activities. The introductory part of the study concentrates on deepening theoretical and practical knowledge. 

As a student in the Boreal Ecology Ph.D. Program at Laurentian University, you will conduct research in ecology related to northern areas, including, but not limited to the Boreal Shield and the Boreal Forest Biome.

The Interdisciplinary Ecological Science and Engineering degree is offered at Purdue University. Join us! 

The study of the Natural Resources - Ecology, Management and Restoration of Rangelands program from The University of Arizona includes all the biological and physical processes of ecosystems - knowledge needed for sustainable use of rangelands as well as management of the diverse and complex systems that they support.  

The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program from The University of Arizona provides research training in ecology and evolutionary biology with areas of strength in biological diversity, evolutionary history and mechanisms, community structure, ecological interactions, behavior, development and mathematical biology. 

The Department of Biodiversity, Earth, and Environmental Science is a multidisciplinary department focused on both basic and applied research ranging from understanding and solving environmental problems to reconstructing the evolutionary history of life on our planet. We offer a Ecology, Evolution and Earth Systems degree at the Drexel University.

Climate Change and Ecosystem Services research at The Open University UK seeks to monitor and quantify climate-related change for a range of Earth’s systems, while increasing predictive capability through the development of Earth system models of intermediate complexity.

The Terrestrial Ecology programme offered by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona develops advanced research expertise in ecosystems, biodiversity, and responses to global environmental change.

Emory University's Population Biology, Ecology and Evolution (PBEE) Graduate Program offers graduate students a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the mechanisms that underlie the diversity and complexity of life. 

Understanding the ecology and evolution of life on Earth is a fundamental research challenge and of central importance for most areas of the environmental sciences. This Ecology and Evolution programme is offered at The University of Manchester.

The Cognitive and Behavioural Ecology Program (CABE) at Memorial University of Newfoundland is an interdisciplinary graduate program focused on animal behaviour and behavioural ecology.

In Conservation Ecology at Stellenbosch University, we specialise in the conservation of plants, animals and fungi, which includes the conservation of the organisms themselves, their interactions with other species and the natural process across landscapes that allows them to persist. 

The Interdisciplinary Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology Ph.D. program at University of Nevada, Reno provides the opportunity to tailor your graduate education to your interests. 

The Graduate School of Life Sciences at Tohoku University offers post-graduate programs for both master’s and doctoral degrees in Life Sciences.

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at University of Florida serves graduate students conducting advanced, original studies of fundamental ecological and social sciences, usually with applications to further society’s understanding of wildlife ecology and to improve conservation of wildlife resources.

The Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology program from Columbia University’s mission is to educate a new generation of scientists and practitioners in the theory and methods of ecology, evolution, and environmental biology. 

The Human Ecology - Consumer Behavior and Family Economics program at University of Wisconsin Madison focuses on various dimensions of well-being including economic/financial security, consumer empowerment, health, food security, housing security, sustainability, and the public policy that affects those dimensions of well-being. 

The Ecology and Evolution programme at Rutgers University aims to foster a diverse environment rich in critical thinking and open communication. It is committed to mentoring the next generation of scientists to solve 21st century problems and be stewards to our planet.

The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology graduate program faculty members at Rice University are committed to training and mentoring graduate students to reach their full potential as scientists.
