This two-year National Science Foundation project grant of $138,000 supports postdoctoral research on the evolution of eastern gray squirrels in urban environments from July 2021 to June 2023. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the fellowship will analyze how urbanization impacts the genetics and behaviors of eastern gray squirrels, advancing knowledge of how wildlife adapt to human-dominated landscapes. The place of performance is New York, NY, where the postdoctoral fellow will conduct field and laboratory work to study squirrel populations in an urban setting.
