The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to the NSF's "Rules of Life" initiative, focusing on the physiological implications of long-term hypoxia (low oxygen) exposure on marine fish, particularly the stickleback. The research will investigate the plastic response of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a 3-year NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship supports research to understand the biological mechanisms that enable plants to adapt to drought stress and climate variability. The research will examine genetic and phenotypic differences in the yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus) that confer drought tolerance across diverse environmental...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the impacts of climate change on insect phenotypes, populations, and communities. The research aims to: 1) build a model to estimate how insect traits like body size and developmental timing respond to temperature variation, 2) quantify how these phenotypic changes affect population dynamics, and 3) determine how...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 funds a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the fellow will conduct experiments and genomic sequencing to determine how temperature affects interactions between the tree hole...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The purpose of the fellowship is to increase the participation of groups underrepresented in biology. The fellow's proposed studies will investigate interactions between migratory and resident bird species during spring migration stopover periods, which have implications for migration ecology, climate...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $414,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The Fellowship will fund integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. Specifically, the Fellow will monitor evolution in heat tolerance plasticity of anole lizards on islands in Panama that have...
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,...
