The fellowship supports research and training under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Specifically, the fellow will conduct integrative research...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the impacts of climate change on insect phenotypes, populations, and communities. The research aims to: 1) build a model to estimate how insect traits like body size and developmental timing respond to temperature variation, 2) quantify how these phenotypic changes affect population dynamics, and 3) determine how...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research on the development and evolution of olfactory perception in response to temperature changes. The fellowship funding will allow the recipient to study how environmental temperature impacts the ability of organisms to detect smells and pheromones,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The Fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. Specifically, the Fellow will monitor evolution in heat tolerance plasticity of anole lizards on islands in Panama that have...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $240,000 in funding from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the "escalator to extinction" phenomenon in tropical mountain ecosystems. The research aims to establish the mechanistic drivers behind shifts in species distributions and community changes in response to climate change in biodiverse tropical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) to conduct research on the "Thermal Community Ecology of Disease" over a 2-year period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. This research project under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) seeks to understand how changes in temperature impact the dynamics of infectious diseases within ecological...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 funds a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the fellow will conduct experiments and genomic sequencing to determine how temperature affects interactions between the tree hole...
