This National Science Foundation project grant award of $276,000 funds an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will examine the repeatability and predictability of evolutionary processes across whole genomes in hybrid zones between North American field crickets. Through a genotype-phenotype approach combining field collections, genomics methods and computational biology, the fellow will test the hypothesis that selection on recombinant genomes is repeatable over different temporal scales. Broader impacts include training and mentoring undergraduates, public outreach to increase engagement with nature and science, and involvement of underrepresented groups in STEM. This award aligns with the objectives of the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to advance biological science knowledge and address major problems through basic research.
