A thriving small city and regional center for education, health, and the arts, Greenville offers a college-town atmosphere and is a great place to live, work, play, and visit. It has a cost of living more than 10 percent below the national average and boasts a vibrant Uptown district with restaurants, breweries, and shopping.

ECU’s Department of Biology (http:///www.ecu.edu ) is home to more than 1,400 undergraduate majors (BS and BA in Biology and BS in Biochemistry) and instructs more than 17,000 students each academic year. Faculty in the department are committed to providing high-impact training in research to undergraduate, Masters (https://biology.ecu.edu/graduate-studies/ ) and Doctoral-level (https://idpbbc.ecu.edu/ ) students. The Department of Biology is broad in its representation of different biological subdisciplines and emphasizes integrative approaches drawing from across the natural sciences. Faculty and students in the Department of Biology have ample opportunity to collaborate with others across campus, including those within the Department of Chemistry, Water Resources Center, Brody School of Medicine, Mass Spectrometry Facility, and Eastern Region Pharma Center. In collaboration with a developer, ECU is also in the process of building an innovation hub on its millennial campus (https://www.intersecteast.com/ ) that would provide on-campus opportunities for collaboration with private industry. The Biology Department and its research facilities (Microscopy, Genomics, and a vivarium) are primarily housed in the new Life Science and Biotechnology Building, a gateway to a growing, vibrant downtown district in the coastal region of North Carolina. ECU has a variety of other cutting-edge resources available in support of its advanced research mission including mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, and advanced imaging. The Department of Biology is committed to enriching the lives of students, faculty, and staff by providing a diverse academic community where the exchange of ideas, knowledge and perspectives is an active part of living and learning.
