Purdue Interdisciplinary Center for Ecological Sustainability (PICES)
Ecological and evolutionary biology is studied in a variety of departments on campus. PICES is a coordinating organization that links these efforts. The aim of PICES is to integrate the process of discovery, learning, and engagement in ecology across disciplinary boundaries. Graduate student access to PICES is through graduate programs located in participating departments. Students interested in applying to our program should apply to the department of their choice. Students can develop multidisciplinary graduate research committees by including faculty from any of the PICES departments on their graduate research committee. Multidisciplinary plans of study can be developed by using courses in any of the departments participating in PICES.

Graduate Student Funding Opportunities:
We have a funded fellowship program in multidisciplinary ecology through a GAANN grant from the US Department of Education. This grant begins 1 Aug 2003. [for details, press here]. Research assistantships with various faculty and teaching assistantships are also available in the participating departments.
