| | Faculty of Biological Sciences | Research Institute of Integrative and Comparative Biology |
 | | Our aim is to undertake high quality research on societal issues that matter (see the University Strategy Map at http://www.leeds.ac.uk/strategy), and within the Institute we aim to foster an environment where research can flourish because it is the focus of our activities and we interact in an intellectually stimulating and supportive environment. |
 | | For example, the University Interdisciplinary Institute, the Earth and Biosphere Institute (http://earth.leeds.ac.uk/ebi/) is a grouping of scientists with interests in the effects of biotic and environmental changes on a spectrum of time and space scales, from short term to geological, and from nano-scale to global. |
 | | We are always interested in hearing from potential postgraduate students (see also http://www.fbs.leeds.ac.uk/gradschool/index.htm), research fellows and academics who may be interested in relocating to Leeds. |
