Doctoral Student

Are you interested in making high school science more accessible to blind and low-vision students? 

I’m recruiting a doctoral student for the 2026-2027 academic year. The student will work on the A11y in Sci project, conducting research and creating professional development for teachers. As part of my lab, the student can pursue an Ed.D in either special education or teaching and learning at Illinois State University. 

This 3 year graduate research assistantship includes full tuition remission and monthly stipends all year (12 months).

Prospective students should email me (nlshahe@ilstu.edu) before January 4, 2026 to discuss their research interests and potential projects.

Postdoctoral Scholar

In 2026, I will be recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to work on A11y in Sci. For more details, watch this space or send me an email (nlshahe@ilstu.edu).
