What follows is simply a list of philosophy Ph.D. programs with strengths in philosophy of biology along with listings of the relevant faculty for each. The primary intended audience is prospective or current graduate students with interests in philosophy of biology who want to get the lay of the land by seeing who works where.

# The criteria for program inclusion is just that a philosophy (or history and philosophy of science) Ph.D. program<ref>Free-standing Science & Technology Studies (or Science Studies) departments with strengths in philosophy of biology are not listed. The rationale for this is that since this wiki's intended audience is prospective philosophy/HPS Ph.D. students, the assumption is that they aren't targeting STS programs. The University of Exeter's Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Philosophy is a borderline case that is included because (1) its name contains the word 'philosophy' and (2) it has four faculty working in the philosophy of biology.</ref> have at least one full-time faculty member who self-identifies as a philosopher of biology.
 +
# The standard of evidence required to make the list is a faculty (or personal) web page of some kind&mdash;or a publicly-accessible CV&mdash;that lists philosophy of biology as a significant research interest.
 +
# Philosophers who have made significant contributions to the philosophy of biology but who do not list phil bio as a current AOS/AOC are usually not listed.<ref>[http://www.pitt.edu/~pkmach/index.html Peter Machamer] and [http://www.hps.pitt.edu/profile/woodward.php James Woodward] at the University of Pittsburgh Department of History and Philosophy of Science are two examples.</ref> However, sometimes  philosophers' short web bios do not list philosophy of biology as an AOS, though their expanded bios or personal web pages do.<ref>[http://philosophy.ubc.ca/persons/john-beatty/ John Beatty] at the University of British Columbia is an example.</ref>
 +
# Bioethics, environmental ethics, philosophy of neuroscience/cognitive science, and philosophy of medicine&mdash;in and of themselves&mdash;are not counted as philosophy of biology, though philosophers of biology with those interests are listed.
 +
# This is a wiki, so anyone can contribute. If programs or faculty have been overlooked, please add them. Questions or comments? Let me know at [mailto:shamiller@ucdavis.edu shamiller@ucdavis.edu].
