Join us!

Undergraduate students and interns:
UG students and interns are welcome to join the lab to work on any of the above themes.

PhD students:
Students joining the lab are welcome to pursue their own topic of research within the broad fields of ecology and evolution or can choose to focus on some of the lab’s main interests (listed above). Herbarium, nursery, and collection facilities (for plant and animal tissue and specimen) are available and it is encouraged that every member contributes towards the effort of building a large in-house tissue and museum collection at IISER-B. Molecular facilities [genomic (Illumina), Sanger sequencing, FACS], are also available at IISER Bhopal.

I encourage potential Ph.D. candidates to contact me and discuss their research interests before applying. All potential Ph.D. students have to go through the IISER-B selection process and will be required to have one of the qualifier examinations scores. Interviews are held twice a year i.e., Spring and Fall semester. Please find the interview/exam schedules on the main IISER-B page: Click Here.

Post-Doctoral Fellows:
Postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to contact me and discuss their project interests. It is preferred that you present: a clear project idea, good field and lab experience, and publications in press or in print. Molecular/phylogenetic training can be provided in the lab for those who come with only ecological training, however in these exceptional cases I will expect the PD fellow to have an excellent ecology background and a good understanding of statistics (R or SAS or similar), and morphological taxonomy.
