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 (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $207,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2026. The fellowship supports research and training under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Specifically, the fellow will conduct integrative research...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $183,600 Project Grant to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to study how climate change affects soil fungi. The 3-year grant, which runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, supports research to develop a trait-based framework for understanding and predicting fungal community responses to global change drivers. The project has three main objectives: 1) create a trait-based framework using advanced...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) FY 2023 award, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research and training focused on exploring the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes in a plant-fungal symbiosis. The $240,000 award will fund a 3-year project that aims to identify the genetic regulation occurring across plant and fungal species to understand how their...
This Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating how soil microbial communities near dead trees influence the assembly and biodiversity of the next generation of forest trees. The research project will use a reciprocal transplant experiment, microbial metabarcoding, and mathematical modeling to quantify the specificity of these soil...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $270,000 in funding from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The project aims to investigate how long-term soil warming affects the traits and gene expression of fungal-feeding nematodes (fungivores) and establish predictive links between nematode characteristics and decomposition, a key ecosystem function. The research...
This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology award for $138,000 provides funding from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2025 to support research investigating the role of host-associated microbes in plant responses to global environmental stressors such as drought. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will advance understanding of microbial influences on host acclimation, adaptation, and population persistence under changing...
