The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2025. The Fellowship will support research and training investigating the ordered evolution and muscle-specific specializations of constriction behaviors in snakes. The Fellow will map different constriction forms on the snake family tree, study specializations of their muscles, and investigate...
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. The Fellowship will fund research and training from July 2022 through June 2024 to evaluate the performance of ancestry estimation methods in garter snake populations. The Fellow will use simulated and sequence data from three sympatric hybridizing garter snake species to assess how the spatial distribution of discrete...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship focused on using snake venom as a model system to investigate the evolution of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) and their role in shaping organismal phenotypes. The research aims to advance the understanding of the "rules of life" governing the linkages between genomes, environments, and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $276,000 will fund an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will analyze genomic and phenotypic data from rattlesnake hybrid zones to understand the evolution of reproductive isolation. By comparing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant to fund a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the genomic and environmental factors underlying reproductive isolation and adaptive introgression in speckled rattlesnakes. The 3-year award, effective September 1, 2024, will support research and training to understand how natural selection influences speciation, as well as the development of online tutorials and book chapters on...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) grant award of $240,000 supports a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the evolutionary origins and consequences of novel sensory capabilities in venomous vipers. The research aims to combine whole-genome analyses with high-resolution CT scans to quantify how venom and vision traits have evolved in coordination across molecular and anatomical scales in these snakes. The research will provide...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship that will investigate the rules governing the interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes related to the co-development of the trigeminal nerve, teeth, and heat-sensing pit organs in snakes. The research aims to examine the processes of tooth replacement and the associated vascular and nerve connections, as...
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...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology to examine the role of parasite interactions in emerging fungal disease in snakes. The fellowship recipient will conduct field surveys, laboratory analyses, and statistical modeling to test the "macro-micro facilitation hypothesis" in wild snakes focusing on the fungal microparasite Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola, which causes the emerging skin disease ophidiomycosis. The fellow will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program awarded a $270,000 Project Grant to support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the origins and ecological/evolutionary consequences of resource polyphenism in the Mexican spadefoot toad (Spea multiplicata). The research will explore how plastic responses in tadpole morphology arise and impact fitness later in life, with the goal of better predicting how organisms may respond to rapid...
