Overview

The Department of Ecology and Evolution is one of the 16 departments and Committees that make up the four clusters of the Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago. Committees were created to facilitate interdisciplinary research, bringing together professors with primary appointments in several departments, to meet the needs of students interested in integrative biology. As shown in the diagram above, departments and committees are grouped in four clusters according to focus areas. The department of Ecology and Evolution is part of the Darwinian Cluster, where we share a common interest in Evolutionary Biology. The Biological Sciences Division has approximately 800 faculty members, allowing for collaboration with and guidance from experts in a very wide range of scientific specialties. Students in the Darwinian Cluster can establish collaboration with the Field Museum of Natural History, Brookfield Zoo, or Argonne National Laboratory.
