About PiE

Mission

The Program in Ecology prepares doctoral students to lead the discipline of ecology during the coming decades. The Program is grounded in the natural history of organisms in their environment, but incorporates tools and perspectives from across the biological, physical, mathematical, computational, and earth sciences. Students develop conceptual, historical, and philosophical perspectives spanning the entire range of sub-disciplines in ecology, while receiving advanced training in the sub-discipline of their individual interest. The Program fosters long-term career development by exploring the linkages of ecology with other disciplines, and by scanning the ecological horizon for emerging questions, concepts, and approaches that will shape the field in years to come.
