The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship in biology. The fellowship supports research to study the skeletal and behavioral underpinnings of extreme locomotor diversity in snakes. The research aims to better understand how snakes with a simple body plan can evolve numerous strategies to move through different environments, which has implications for ecology, conservation, and the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology. The Fellowship will fund research and training from July 2022 through June 2024 to evaluate the performance of ancestry estimation methods in garter snake populations. The Fellow will use simulated and sequence data from three sympatric hybridizing garter snake species to assess how the spatial distribution of discrete...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant to fund a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the genomic and environmental factors underlying reproductive isolation and adaptive introgression in speckled rattlesnakes. The 3-year award, effective September 1, 2024, will support research and training to understand how natural selection influences speciation, as well as the development of online tutorials and book chapters on...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship focused on using snake venom as a model system to investigate the evolution of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) and their role in shaping organismal phenotypes. The research aims to advance the understanding of the "rules of life" governing the linkages between genomes, environments, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship that will investigate the rules governing the interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes related to the co-development of the trigeminal nerve, teeth, and heat-sensing pit organs in snakes. The research aims to examine the processes of tooth replacement and the associated vascular and nerve connections, as...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) grant award of $240,000 supports a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the evolutionary origins and consequences of novel sensory capabilities in venomous vipers. The research aims to combine whole-genome analyses with high-resolution CT scans to quantify how venom and vision traits have evolved in coordination across molecular and anatomical scales in these snakes. The research will provide...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research and training from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The fellowship recipient will conduct integrative research investigating the interaction of genomes, environments and phenotypes in evolutionary biology. Specifically, the fellow will study mechanisms connecting short-term plastic behavioral responses to long-term evolutionary change. Using a pupfish system with specialist and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $207,000 to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from March 2021 through February 2024. The funding is awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and enhance understanding of major problems facing the nation. The fellowship will allow the recipient to conduct basic research in biology, advancing scientific knowledge and strengthening the scientific...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology to examine the role of parasite interactions in emerging fungal disease in snakes. The fellowship recipient will conduct field surveys, laboratory analyses, and statistical modeling to test the "macro-micro facilitation hypothesis" in wild snakes focusing on the fungal microparasite Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola, which causes the emerging skin disease ophidiomycosis. The fellow will...
