1. FELLOWSHIP AWARDS FOR MASTER’S STUDENTS – FALL 2008
   The Ecology and Evolution Group at San Francisco State University is offering 13 fellowships for Master's students (M.S.) starting Fall of 2008, funded by the S-STEM program of the National Science Foundation and the Department of Biology at SFSU. Each fellowship recipient will receive $17,000 per year for up to two years. The Master's degree program in Biology at San Francisco State University (SFSU) is nationally recognized as offering outstanding graduate training in environmental science, ecology, and evolutionary biology and for providing exceptional preparation for PhD programs and the workforce. The Department has been successful in attracting and preparing superb graduate students, and ensuring their placement in top Ph.D. programs across the nation, including the Universities of Virginia, Indiana, Harvard, Texas, and system-wide in the University California. Graduates who have chosen not to pursue a Ph.D. have successfully moved on to positions at government agencies such as the National Park Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service, and to non-profits, such as the Nature Conservancy. With 18 full-time faculty, we have a strong and interactive evolution and ecology group with particular strength in conservation biology, systematics and population biology. Our class sizes are small and students work closely with their advisors on research projects. Opportunities abound for field research in a diverse array of habitats including the Pacific coast, Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Point Reyes National Seashore all within 1-2 hour drives from campus, and the Sierra Nevada within a 4 hour drive.
