Why apply to Clark 生物学’s doctoral program?

With a breadth of research areas, Clark’s biology doctoral program provides opportunities 和 flexibility to pursue research that benefits our underst和ing of the world within a connected community of scholars. Our research areas include molecular 和 cell biology, 和 ecology 和 evolution.

The program’s intimate size allows graduate students to collaborate, build relationships with 和 receive mentoring from world-class faculty.  Close ties across the sciences, including with those enrolled in our bio化学 和 molecular biology化学 doctoral programs, exposes students to a range of ideas 和 research outside their interest areas.  研究生 students are guaranteed tuition remission 和 teaching assistantships for five years.

Our close-knit, curious community

The biology doctoral program seeks students with strong scientific curiosity, prior independent research experience 和 the ability to persevere.

研究生 students are integral to collaboration on research with faculty members 在他们的实验室 和 with fellow graduate students 和 undergraduates. These opportunities allow students to benefit from our faculty’s expertise while gaining experience mentoring 和 teaching. The close-knit community of students in biology, bio化学 和 molecular biology, 和 化学 builds collaboration across disciplines both in the lab 和 in the field, which has led to exciting research.
