- This two-year, $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds research into understanding the impact of microbiomes on plant performance in a warming climate. Led by researchers at Durham, North Carolina, the grant supports a postdoctoral fellow investigating how microbial communities inside and on plant surfaces change at elevated temperatures and the effects on plant health. Using molecular, multi-omic, and mathematical modeling approaches, the fellow will examine simultaneous...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $138,000 to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology for fiscal years 2022 through 2024. The fellowship funding is awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in biology. The fellowship will support research and training to advance understanding of how maternal microbial exposures during development promote tolerance for beneficial microbes and protection...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to California Institute of Technology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024. The fellowship will fund research and training for a Latinx postdoctoral fellow studying crop yield enhancement strategies through understanding the role of microorganisms in the rhizosphere. Specifically, the fellow will investigate the...
This $138,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes in plant microbiomes under global change. The fellow will test new theory on plant-microbe associations and apply a tradeoff framework analyzing microbial yield, resource acquisition, stress tolerance and interaction traits as rules of life. Using theoretical and experimental approaches, the research will address trait tradeoffs at the microbial genomic level, determine if microbiome assembly is driven by environmental selection on traits, and if life history strategies predict ecological functioning in changing environments. Results aim to generate practical insights for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Training objectives include developing computational and theoretical skills, and inclusive teaching and mentoring.
