This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $240,000 supports postdoctoral research fellowship training in biology through July 2026. The fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes.

The fellow will study the fish species Poecilia mexicana to address how tolerance to multiple environmental stressors, such as hydrogen sulfide and hypoxia, affects gene expression, physiological traits, and organismal performance. The research aims to quantify gene expression and physiological responses to individual and combined stressors in adapted and non-adapted populations. It will also test whether plasticity to one stressor can increase tolerance to another, and compare co-tolerance in hybrids.

In addition to research, the grant supports the fellow's training, including technical skills development, preparation of job application materials, teaching and mentoring experience, and public outreach. The fellow will engage the local community in science through various outreach programs at Columbus, Ohio's host institution. This project aligns with the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program and its goals to advance biological knowledge and understanding of problems facing the nation.
