East Carolina University Virtual Grad Program Recruitment Day 2022
Friday, November 18th from 1-3PM Eastern
Learn about ECU’s two flagship interdisciplinary PhD programs
The ICS and IDPBBC Ph.D. programs are competitive and interdisciplinary. Both Ph.D. programs are recruiting for the fall 2032 season.
Admission to the ICS Ph.D. and IDPBBC programs is based on several criteria, considered together in a holistic manner. Prospective students should apply online through the ECU Graduate School. Students must meet all requirements for admission to the Graduate School of East Carolina University and the Ph.D. program.
Note: GRE scores are no longer required.

Prospective students apply to the ICS PhD Program
The prospective PhD students will contribute to a NSF-funded Large Coastlines and People Research Hub: Coastal Hazards, Economic Prosperity, and Resilience. The research will examine the adverse impacts of hurricanes on households and local economies. The work will engage with community members in eastern North Carolina, Houston, and Port Arthur, Texas to identify strategies that will improve resilience and yield more equitable outcomes without sacrificing economic prosperity.
PhD students will be part of a cohort of students and postdocs who will participate in a comprehensive, research-based, professional development and mentoring plan.

The Anllo Lab researches the assembly of a stem cell niche to understand fundamentals of tissue formation.
A stem cell niche is a cellular microenvironment that maintains stem cells and regulates their behavior. Accomplishing tissue repair often requires intimate association between stem cells and their niche. The Anllo Lab is working to understand regulation of cell signaling, gene expression, and cell biological responses required to compartmentalize a niche during tissue formation.

Prospective students apply to the BBC Program
The Schmidt Integrative Cellular Bioenergetics Lab is working to better understand the energy transforming systems that underlie cellular physiology. They are primarily focused on mammalian reproduction and are trying to understand how chemical microenvironments influence the success of sperm cells during fertilization. They are fascinated by sperm cells because they are the most diverse single cell type among mammals, and because cellular energy transformations are fundamental to their unique physiology.

Prospective students apply to the BBC or ICS PhD Program.
Microbial ecology in coupled human and natural systems
Research in the Peralta Lab examines how climate and human-induced environmental changes influence microbial community structure and functions associated with regulating air quality, water quality, and human, animal, and plant health. Current projects examine hydrologic change effects on plant-microbe interactions and carbon and nitrogen cycling processes in urban, freshwater, and coastal wetlands.
