- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026 to support research examining the genetic, physiological, and environmental drivers of plant-pollinator niche dynamics across scales of biological organization. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from July 2024 to June 2027. The fellowship will investigate how honeybee swarms utilize local information to adapt their internal and external structures in response to environmental perturbations such as wind, rain, and temperature changes. The research will involve experimental studies using X-ray...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will provide $240,000 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the biological drivers of climate-driven range contractions in bumble bees. The fellowship will employ a combination of field and laboratory techniques to study how bumble bee body size and genotype interact with climate factors to influence dispersal, overwintering survivorship, and thermal...
- 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 (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the role of symbiotic yeasts in structuring bumble bee nest microbial communities. The research aims to uncover how antimicrobial compounds produced by these yeasts impact the growth of detrimental microbes, bee health, and bee behavior. Key activities include testing variations in...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) for FY 2024. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes across spatial and biological scales. The key objectives are to characterize variation in bioenergetic and behavioral traits, study how this variation...
- This National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology award for $240,000 will fund research from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026 exploring the role of hybridization on diet breadth evolution in the fall webworm. The fellowship recipient will conduct laboratory and field experiments in collaboration with veterans from the community college system to assess the influence of hybridization on diet breadth in two genetically distinct biotypes of the fall webworm...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 provides funding from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2025 to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship funding will support research and training focused on investigating the genomics, heat shock proteins, and climate change adaptations of desert-adapted asiloid fly species. The fellow will sequence genomes of asiloid fly groups to create a foundational dataset for further genomic studies. Identification...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) provides $240,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The fellowship supports a research and training plan that aims to enhance understanding of human-wildlife interactions in the face of global change, with a focus on birds worldwide. The fellow will develop a new modeling framework and global database to predict human-wildlife interactions and determine key drivers....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides USD 240,000 in funding from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The award supports an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology to study the relationship between pollinator thermal performance and limitation in apple production in the Midwestern US. The research project aims to determine which pollinator groups (e.g., honey bees, bumble bees, solitary bees) are best suited to perform under unstable early spring weather conditions exacerbated by climate change, in order to help ensure the security of the Midwestern apple crop. In addition to the research activities, the fellowship includes developing and teaching a module on sustainable food systems, as well as programs to support neurodiversity in biology.
