The Department of Biology and Environment provides undergraduate, graduate and
postdoctoral training in Biology. It strongly emphasizes field and organism-level research in
ecology, evolution and systematics, but several members of the department focus on
molecular studies. Along with independent research, the department encourages collaborative
work across levels of biological organization, from molecules to ecosystems. The department
is part of the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Haifa, and is located off the
main campus, at the beautiful campus of Oranim College in Kiryat Tivon.
