Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology
The department conducts research, teaching, and service in many areas of the life sciences, including animal behavior, behavioral endocrinology, biomechanics, cell biology, conservation biology, ecology, ecomorphology, evolution, genetics, physiology, population biology, systematics, and theoretical ecology. UC Riverside graduate program is also named EEOB and offers Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees, with an emphasis on the latter. UC Riverside is also part of the Evolutionary Biology Joint-Doctoral Program with San Diego State University. In addition, the faculty and graduate students are affiliated with several interdepartmental graduate programs, including Biophysics; Cell, Molecular, and Developmental Biology; Genetics, Genomics, and Bioinformatics; Biomedical Sciences; and Neuroscience. We also offer many opportunities for undergraduate research.
