This National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the amount of $207,000 will fund research from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will conduct integrative research on the interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes governing viral-microbial dynamics on successional coral reefs in Ranobe Bay, Madagascar. Using molecular and ecological techniques combined with coral reef restoration, the project will investigate how environmental and macro-/micro-organismal components determine the success of coral reef ecosystems. Specifically, the fellow will study the microbial and viral composition of coral microbiomes and their role in reef health. An in situ experiment using artificial reefs will assess how seeding from a healthy source affects selection and gene flow. Outreach and training for Malagasy students is also included to build capacity for marine science and monitoring of reef and human health in the region.
