Assistant Professor
Clark University
Dr. Chandra Jack is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Clark University. She earned her undergraduate, M.S., and Ph.D. from Rice University. She is an evolutionary biologist specializing in soil plant-microbial interactions. Research in her lab focuses on how community and environmental eco-evolutionary feedbacks influence the plant microbiome and mediates plant traits and fitness. She is interested in exploring how microbial population dynamics and functional diversity are as important in shaping the plant microbiome as host genetic identity and environmental conditions. Her research approaches include field work and greenhouse studies with applications ranging from increasing fundamental understanding of plant microbial mutualisms to sustainable agriculture.
