The fellowship supports a research and training plan that aims to enhance understanding of human-wildlife interactions in the face of global change, with a focus on birds worldwide. The fellow will develop a new modeling framework and global database to predict human-wildlife interactions and determine key drivers....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000.00 in funding to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) focused on "Testing a Role for Interspecific Interactions in Signal Evolution, Speciation, and Sympatry in Birds". The fellowship will contribute to advancing scientific understanding of how plumage coloration in tropical tanager birds enables species coexistence and formation. Key...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $138,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The fellowship supports research investigating the genetic mechanisms governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes within the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the fellow will conduct a comparative study of axial skeleton evolution in birds using genetic,...
- This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award for $276,000 provides funding from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2024 to investigate the endocrine and neurogenomic regulation of male parental care strategies in songbirds. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellow will examine how variation in testosterone and prolactin hormones mediate male life history strategies and parental behaviors. Field research will be conducted at sites along a...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $270,000 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The 3-year project, effective August 1, 2025, will fund research and training to investigate the genetic and mechanistic bases of rapid phenotypic evolution, focusing on the functional implications and environmental associations of structural white color in bird feathers. The research will use feather structure analysis,...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $276,000 will fund an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will analyze genomic and phenotypic data from rattlesnake hybrid zones to understand the evolution of reproductive isolation. By comparing...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology. The fellowship, awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes in innovative ways. Specifically, the fellow will conduct in vivo and in vitro testing of zebra finch olfactory receptors (ORs) to odorants, aiming to reveal the first functional response for a bird OR. By matching zebra finch ORs orthologous to mouse ORs of known function, the research seeks to understand how odorant response is conserved between highly divergent vertebrate lineages. Testing behaviorally relevant odorants can provide insight into the role of smell in bird ecology and behavior. The fellow will also conduct public outreach activities at nature centers to increase understanding of bird olfaction.
