The
Botany Department is part of the Faculty of Science at the University
of British Columbia. It is one of the largest and strongest
Botany Departments in North America, offering a wide range of research and
educational programs. Specializations range from the organismal
to the molecular level.
Our
departmental community of more than 200 consists of 40 full-time
faculty members, several
part-time faculty or associates,
about 85 graduate students,
numerous post-doctoral fellows and research associates,
laboratory technicians, and a support staff
of secretarial, equipment, herbarium, stores, workshop and
greenhouse personnel.
The
graduate students form an active group, organizing talks,
study sessions, field trips, sports activities, picnics
and parties. The students belong to the
Graduate Students Association, which provides limited
emergency financial aid, and are represented by the Teaching
Assistants' Union. |
