The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral research in biology from March 1, 2022 to February 29, 2024. The grant funds a fellowship for the proposed research project "Evolution of Genome Architecture in the Algal-Ciliate Endosymbiosis," to be conducted in Konstanz, Germany. This award is provided under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The goal of this program is to advance the biological sciences and strengthen the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000 in funding from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The research aims to study the mechanisms that enable a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium to become a permanent part of an alga, forming a specialized compartment called a "diazoplast." This unique partnership between a nitrogen-fixing microbe and a photosynthetic organism...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 from June 15, 2023 to May 31, 2026 supports an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to study the evolution and development of retinal specializations in fish, which can help understand how the environment and development shape the biology and evolution of the eye. The key products of this project include: 1) evolutionary genomics and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding over a 3-year period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The award supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the chemical, molecular, and cellular processes involved in the symbiotic relationship between cnidarians (such as corals) and algae. The research aims to uncover the mechanisms that lead to partner specificity during the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 over three years starting on September 1, 2024 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research aims to investigate the effects of bioengineered organisms on community assembly and ecosystem functioning in a soil microbial community. The fellow will use genetic engineering to create microbial consortia and study the impacts on community and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The research seeks to understand the "cost of complexity" - how maintaining multiple functions in a gene can restrict its ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Using cyanobacterial rhodopsin proteins as models, the project will engineer rhodopsin...
