Studentships available at the EGI

Studentship available in evolutionary and behavioural ecology (posted 30 June 2006) [link]

Examples of other recently advertised studentships are as follows:

1. Evolutionary ecology of mixed infections in avian malaria

2. Mechanisms of post-insemination sexual selection in birds

Please note: Irrespective of whether there are any studentships currently avaiable, we welcome enquiries about conducting graduate studies at the EGI. Most graduate students study for a DPhil (Oxford's version of a PhD), which involves three years' research in depth on one particular area. The department also runs an excellent MSc course in Integrated Bisociences, which is a year-long course involving a mix of taught courses and research projects (see the main department website for details). Many of the students that have taken the MSc course have subsequently registered for a DPhil in Zoology at Oxford. Typically there are between ten and fifteen students reading for a DPhil within the EGI at any one time (more...).

Undergraduate (FHS) projects

EGI staff supervise numerous FHS projects annually. In future some projects will be listed on these pages. Students are otherwise welcome to contact suitable individual staff memebrs to discuss possible rojects but are advised to come with a clear idea of what they would like to do.
