The National Science Foundation awarded $414,000 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship funding will support integrative research investigating the intersection of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in elevational migrant bird species across the Andes and Himalayas. The fellow will generate valuable museum specimens including frozen tissues and genomic,...
This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to study plumage coloration and evolution in tropical birds. The research aims to elucidate the genetic basis and evolutionary history of species-specific plumage signals, which enable coexistence of multiple bird species in the same environment. The fellowship will involve microevolutionary and macroevolutionary analyses...
This federal Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the genetic and functional bases of rapid phenotypic evolution in birds. The project will characterize the production and evolution of structural white coloration in feathers across three bird clades, investigating the phenotype-environment associations and genetic adaptations underlying this...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under CFDA 47.074 (Biological Sciences) will support a 3-year research project investigating how temperature influences the evolution of mating signal complexity in jumping spiders across North America. The $240,000 award will fund the fellow's research and training, which will integrate physiological experiments, behavioral trials, and evolutionary analyses to examine how temperature impacts the production and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Parallel Evolution of Lizards in Urban Heat Islands: Locomotor Performance, Muscle Physiology, and Gene Regulation." The grant falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation....
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $414,000 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology researching the genetic and molecular rules governing trait expression between sexes.
