Welcome to the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology
Our faculty is a mix of internationally known senior researchers and an energetic group of junior faculty at the cutting edges of their fields.
We train graduate and undergraduate students with research interests in ecology, evolutionary biology, animal behavior, conservation biology, behavioral and population genetics, plant biology, computational, mathematical and theoretical ecology, evolutionary theory, plant systematics, and other areas of organismal biology. Our strengths in these areas are complemented by collaborations with many other departments at UTK as well as the wide variety of scientists outside the university. Our adjunct faculty are found in the UTK departments of Biochemistry and Cell and Molecular Biology, Comparative Medicine, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Forestry, Wildlife & Fisheries, Geography, Mathematics, Microbiology, Nutrition, Plant and Soil Sciences, and Psychology. We also have adjunct faculty who work at the Environmental Sciences Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the US Geological Service, and the US National Park Service. We encourage collaborations within the department and beyond.
