We are currently looking for a motivated student to join our USDA-funded research on plant-microbe interactions, beginning in January 2025.

Graduate Students

We are always interested in highly motivated students to join the Bretfeld lab within the KSU Master of Science in Integrative Biology Program. Graduate students are eligible for tuition waivers and are fully funded via a combination of teaching and research assistantships. Keep your eyes open for specific calls for applications on this page.

Undergraduate Students

If you are interested in research and feel passionate about plants, don’t hesitate to contact me about potential opportunities for undergraduate research projects. As a member of our lab, you will be involved in real research both in the field and/or in the lab, including data collection, analysis, and presentation. You have your own research question? I am always open to supervising student-led research projects! Students in our lab may receive credits that count towards their degree (i.e. Directed Methods & Directed Studies).
