This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award for $138,000 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to examine the molecular mechanisms of migratory behavior in sea turtles. The fellowship supports research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate whether patterns in an animal's genetic code relate to its migratory behavior.

The fellow will sequence whole genomes of loggerhead sea turtles with known migratory patterns in the North Atlantic to identify genetic variations associated with migratory phenotypes. Comparative genomics analysis will also be conducted across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial turtle species to examine the evolutionary history of long-distance migration. The fellow will gain training in genomic and bioinformatic methods with the goal of answering long-standing questions about migratory behavior across taxa. The research aims to provide insights that could help predict how climate change and habitat changes may impact migratory species. Outreach to local students is also included to broaden participation in science.
