This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award for $138,000 will fund research from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025 investigating the diversity of synovial joint form and function. The fellowship, provided under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support the fellow's research and training contributing to the area of rules of life.

The fellow will integrate techniques from developmental biology, biomechanics, and computational modeling to study the pre-hatching origins of diversity in avian hindlimb joint morphology, characterize the post-hatching connection between morphology and function, and develop a predictive model of avian hindlimb function within the context of locomotor ecology. This work on functional diversification in modern birds will generate predictive models transferable to other vertebrate groups. While conducting this integrative research, the fellow will receive training in embryological imaging and motion comparison. The award was deemed worthy through NSF's evaluation of intellectual merit and broader impacts.
