Graduate Student Positions

The EES department is always seeking graduate student applicants each fall admission cycle. Graduate students are typically supported by fellowships, research assistantships or teaching assistantships. The graduate admission process is described in detail here with application deadlines at the end of the year. Below are some of the graduate student research opportunities being specifically sought for admission in the 2025 cycle, and we also encourage you to contact the faculty members working on topics that interest you directly.

Paleobiology and Geobiology. Professor Maloney is seeking a MSc student and PhD student to work on projects related to the ecological expansion of eukaryotes. We are particularly interested in the coevolution of early life and their paleoenvironments. These projects will involve examining macro/microfossils, investigating the processes that result in exceptional preservation, as well as, collecting and interpreting geochemical data. Students will work with an interdisciplinary team of international collaborators to conduct fieldwork, core repository visits and/or museum-based research.
