Philosophy of Biology Lab
UC Davis is home to the Griesemer/Millstein Philosophy of Biology Lab, which was founded by Jim Griesemer and earned its moniker when Roberta Millstein joined the UCD Philosophy Department in Fall 2006.
The Lab is a community of faculty, graduate students, and visitors interested in philosophy of biology and related subjects. We meet once a week during the regular school year to read and discuss our works-in-progress, share ideas for new projects, make presentations and provide feedback on them, read topics of common interest, and engage with visiting scholars. One of the main goals of the Lab is to support graduate students in the various stages of their careers; to that end, topics related to presenting at conferences, publishing in journals, etc., are frequently discussed.
Science & Technology Studies
The philosophy Ph.D. program offers a Designated Emphasis in Science & Technology Studies, where the faculty include historian of science Mario Biagioli and cultural anthropologist Joseph Dumit, author of Drugs for Life (2012 Duke University Press). Both Prof. Millstein and Prof. Griesemer are affiliated faculty with the STS program. And, as it happens, Prof. Griesemer's 1989 “boundary objects” paper with Leigh Star is the most cited paper in Social Studies of Science, a leading STS journal. As of November 2014, the paper has been cited 5,142 times overall.

University of Cincinnati
Philosophy and the Life Sciences at Cincinnati
The PhD track in Philosophy and the Life Sciences approaches its subject matter by putting the science in the driver’s seat. Students on this track are not only expected to cultivate a broad philosophical background, but also a competence in the science in which they intend to specialize (some pursue and MS). Students can also expect considerable attention to be paid to professional development of research and teaching.
NB: The Philosophy Department at the University of Cincinnati also offers a "traditional track" to a philosophy PhD, and graduate students need not decide whether to pursue the traditional track or the Philosophy and the Life Sciences track until their first or second year of study.

Notes
- ↑ Though he does not list philosophy of biology as a current AOS, Kitcher writes on his faculty profile page—accessed 2014-11-18—that he is willing to work with philosophy of biology graduate students.
- ↑ Some of the Resident Fellows at the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science also have philosophy of biology interests.
