Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Integrative Biology

University of Guelph

The Department of Integrative Biology is comprised of faculty members in three overlapping fields and offers MSc and PhD degrees in:Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, Comparative Physiology. Research is focused on a wide variety of organisms from microbes to plants to animals at multiple levels of organization from molecules and cells through to entire ecosystems. Basic research is being used as a foundation to address some of the most important regional and global issues.The Integrative Biology Graduate Program offers PhD degrees for studies in each of the three major fields of emphasis: 1 ecology 2 evolutionary biology and 3 comparative physiology. The 3 three areas of emphasis focus on but are not restricted to, experimental approaches in field and laboratory settings and a strong linkage between theoretical and applied investigations. The Department encourages students to pursue interdisciplinary research and, where appropriate, utilize faculty expertise from across campus on their advisory committees.
