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 mosquito Aedes sierrensis and its parasite Lambornella clarki across a climate gradient. The research aims to understand how climate change may impact host-parasite relationships and each species' ability to adapt. Additionally, the fellow will mentor undergraduates from underrepresented groups in biology and lead workshops on computer programming. Findings will be shared with vector control agencies and the public to advance knowledge of ecological and evolutionary principles guiding host-parasite system responses to climate change.
