This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology at Brown University from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026. The fellowship will advance the fellow's research using coalescent modeling and simulations to generate insights into human evolutionary history from modern genome data, with a focus on sex chromosome evolution and analyzing sexed versus gendered effects in human admixture. It will provide training in population genetics techniques and promote the fellow's public outreach, mentoring, and community-building activities. Key deliverables include developing a coalescent model for non-autosomal chromosomes and simulations of gene flow between populations to contextualize human diversity. Findings will further the program's goals of increasing biological sciences knowledge and understanding major issues.
