The Simons Foundation’s Life Sciences division
is now accepting applications for its Simons
Graduate Fellowships in Ecology and Evolution awards (
https://www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/simons-graduate-fellowships-in-ecology-and-evolution/
). *The deadline for fellowship applications is July 31, 2025, at 12:00
p.m. (noon) Eastern time.*

The purpose of these awards is to provide support for students entering
U.S.-based Ph.D. programs with a plan to perform research in ecology and
evolution. While we will consider all projects in ecology and evolution, we
are particularly interested in interdisciplinary research that jointly
considers processes on both ecological and evolutionary timescales or that
links studies of ecology and evolution to other STEM fields, including
physics, computer science, mathematics, chemistry and other areas of
biology, especially genetics.

Among other eligibility requirements, applicants must be entering or
applying for Ph.D. programs in biology or a subfield of the life sciences
to study ecology and evolution, with matriculation to start no later than
fall 2026. It is permissible for applicants to hold a master’s degree and
encouraged that they hold a master’s degree in physics, mathematics,
computer science or engineering. Individuals who already hold a Ph.D. or
other terminal degree, or who have enrolled in a Ph.D. program prior to
fall 2025, are not eligible. Fellowships must be hosted at United States
institutions, at a campus within the United States. There are no
citizenship requirements.

For any questions, please contact lifeg...@simonsfoundation.org.
