Biology PhD
获得对生物学研究做出重大贡献的经验 Biology PhD program in the College of Science and Technology. The Biology PhD degree provides a rigorous, research-focused course of study. 你将准备追求与生物科学相关的多种职业道路, including postdoctoral and academic positions, and in related industries, such as biotechnology, bioengineering, healthcare and pharmaceutics. 生物学博士课程为您提供了获得学位资助的机会，无论是教学还是研究助理, and a tuition waiver.
生物学博士生有机会选择他们想加入的实验室. During your first year, 你可以立即选择一个特定的研究小组，也可以在决定一个实验室之前轮换三个研究小组. Once you are admitted to candidacy, you’ll pursue specialized research toward the completion of your degree.
教师在不同的专业领域进行前沿研究，包括
- cellular, developmental and molecular biology;
- cellular and molecular neuroscience, which investigates the central nervous system and the mechanisms it governs;
- computational biology, which focuses on computational evolutionary genomics;
- ecology, 研究生物体与其环境之间复杂关系的跨学科领域;
- evolutionary medicine, 在进化史的大背景下研究当代人类疾病的跨学科领域;
- genetic epidemiology, an interdisciplinary field that examines the impact of genetic and environmental factors on modern human disease; and
- population genetics, 遗传学和进化生物学的一个分支，研究种群内部和种群之间随时间的遗传变化.
