- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the complex factors that influence animal responses to climate change. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund a research and training plan with two key objectives: 1) Synthesize available data on climate-induced range shifts across mammal species to build predictive...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 provides funding for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2025. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the biogeography and community assembly of North American Carboniferous ecosystems. Specifically, the fellow will analyze the fossil record using approaches including anatomy, geology, and ecology to determine how ancient land ecosystems responded to environmental and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) provides $240,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The fellowship supports a research and training plan that aims to enhance understanding of human-wildlife interactions in the face of global change, with a focus on birds worldwide. The fellow will develop a new modeling framework and global database to predict human-wildlife interactions and determine key drivers....
- This $276,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship in biology for fiscal years 2023 through 2025. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating microbial interactions across trophic scales and their contributions to host phenotype in a carnivore model. Specifically, the fellow will characterize external microbiomes in soil, water and prey, quantify their contributions to black-footed ferret gut microbiomes, and test whether these...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) for FY 2024. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes across spatial and biological scales. The key objectives are to characterize variation in bioenergetic and behavioral traits, study how this variation...
- 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 from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The fellowship will fund the collection and analysis of gut microbiome samples from over 3,300 animal species, representing the most comprehensive dataset to date. This will allow for improved understanding of the origins and ecological controls of gut microbiomes across the...
- This Project Grant award for $270,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to biology in innovative ways, exploring how plants, animals, and people interact and shape their habitats. The fellow will use genetic and statistical tools to study relationships between species in a complex forest ecosystem, with the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $270,000 provides funding for a 3-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology focused on investigating how urbanization impacts the diet, gut microbiome, health, and behavior of raccoons in the San Francisco Bay Area. The research project will examine functional links between raccoon nutrition, physiology, and behavior across urban and non-urban environments, generating insights into the...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 supports a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2025. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote biological sciences research and strengthen the national scientific enterprise. The fellowship will fund the use of environmental DNA metabarcoding to detect parasite biodiversity and incorporate parasites into ecological networks. This non-invasive...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $276,000 to fund research from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The grant supports a postdoctoral fellowship for Dana Reuter to conduct integrative research on linking mammalian omnivore ecological traits to biogeography and morphology. Specifically, Reuter will develop a new database on North American mammal diets focusing on omnivores, and analyze relationships between omnivore diet variation, species ranges, vegetation, and phylogeny. Reuter will also collect 3D scans of mammal jaws to assess correlations between jaw morphology, dental topology, and diets among omnivores. The fellowship will provide training in bioinformatics, phylogenetic methods, and ecomorphology techniques. Reuter will mentor students and engage the public at natural history museums. The research aims to advance understanding of how mammals and communities respond to environmental change.
