You will see that at UW Biology, we value a diversity of people and approaches to solve the most important problems in biological sciences. There is a breadth of top-notch faculty, postdocs, and students who study topics at spatial scales ranging from molecules to the entire planet.

Due to Seattle’s position as a major intellectual hub, and because of our geographic location, there are opportunities for biologists to enhance their learning at every turn through collaborations, both within the University of Washington and with organizations at local levels and beyond. We encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to collaborate with internal and external partners. Additionally, the University of Washington has been the leading recipient of federal research funding—now more than $1 billion per year—among public universities for more than 20 years.
