Join us!We do not currently have PhD/MSc positions available right now, but potential externally funded collaborations can be discussed. Please reach out to me at [email protected] if interested. We believe that the best resource that a lab can have is people, and we are always looking to provide opportunities for undergraduate researchers and graduate students. Please check out our research and publications for a brief description of the major projects being conducted in the lab. Students interested in working on topics of how chemical or community ecology, coevolution, geographical and environmental variation, or global change mediate plant interactions with antagonists and mutualists are particularly encouraged to apply. I especially seek motivated applicants that diversify our mindset, interests and experience to work as a "hive mind" group. Our lab has a question- and hypothesis-driven approach, with strong experimental and quantitative components. Potential lab candidates should either have or be motivated to learn skills in lab and field settings, manipulative experiments involving organisms and statistics. If you are interested to work with us, please email me ([email protected]) to start a conversation.
Graduate students Illinois State University is committed to financially support all students admitted in graduate school. If you want to apply for graduate school, please see the general information for requirements in the School of Biological Sciences website. For further information about requirements to pursue graduate programs and associated financial support, please see the Master's and Doctoral program websites. Applications for graduate school admission typically start in the Fall, with a deadline in February next calendar year. If you are interested to work in the lab, please email me ([email protected]) with the following:
Eligible graduate students also have opportunities to apply for other internal and external funding. Please see financial options for graduate students and also through the NSF GRFP program. Undergraduate students The Goldar Lab offers multiple research opportunities for undergraduate students at Illinois State University. We typically conduct research and experiments in the field during the summer and in the lab and greenhouse during the academic year. We are looking for undergraduates broadly interested in species interactions, excited to work with plants and insects, get their hands dirty doing experiments, and analyze the collected data. Although most students learn how to do research by participating in ongoing projects, some students decide to pursue independent research projects.
