- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $270,000 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (CFDA 47.074) to support research aimed at understanding the evolution of insect diets over millions of years. The 3-year fellowship, commencing on August 15, 2025, will enable the postdoctoral researcher to reconstruct the evolutionary history of diet shifts in seed bugs (Lygaeoidea) using genomic data. The researcher will infer a new phylogenetic tree of the seed bug superfamily and analyze how...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the impacts of climate change on insect phenotypes, populations, and communities. The research aims to: 1) build a model to estimate how insect traits like body size and developmental timing respond to temperature variation, 2) quantify how these phenotypic changes affect population dynamics, and 3) determine how...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award for $207,000 provides three years of funding from March 2021 through February 2024. The funding supports the Biological Sciences program under the NSF, as denoted by Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 47.074. The goal of the Biological Sciences program is to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing...

- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 in funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The fellowship supports research and training focused on investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes of lichen holobionts (the lichen organism and its associated microbiome) in response to climate change. The key objectives are to:...
This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award provides $138,000 to fund research from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2024 exploring the connections between genotype, phenotype, and environment in shaping population-level variation in human head lice. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the fellow will conduct integrative research quantifying the impact of environmental factors on the genetic and morphological traits of human head lice populations globally. The research aims to identify genes under positive selection influencing morphology, quantify spatial diversity in genotypic and phenotypic traits, evaluate geographic population structure and co-occurrence, and quantify the effect of environmental variables on genetic and phenotypic spatial differences. Outcomes will include gaining experience using genome scans, high-resolution CT scans, and environmental data to achieve the research objectives. Public engagement activities are also planned utilizing 3D prints and lesson plans to help address social stigma around head lice.
