- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026 to support an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship will fund research investigating the genetic basis of structural coloration in animals under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will sequence genomes from over 100 lizard specimens to identify genomic regions controlling structural blue color variation versus...
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship award in the amount of $138,000 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2025 to identify olfactory pathways that establish species barriers in cichlid fish. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote basic biological research and enhance scientific knowledge. The fellow will conduct research using CRISPR-mediated genomic manipulation, single-nucleus RNA sequencing, and automated...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal Project Grant award of $270,000.00 funds a 3-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship supports research and training that will contribute to understanding how bird species adapt to their environment, with a focus on the interplay between structural genetic variants, phenotype, and local adaptation in a cryptic avian species complex. The research aims to determine the impacts of complex...
- NSF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY FY 2021: INVESTIGATING THE GENETIC AND ECO-EVOLUTIONARY MECHANISMS UNDERLYING LIFE HISTORY POLYMORPHISMS was a $138,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers from March 1, 2022 to February 29, 2024. The grant was funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and increase understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $138,000 provides funding from November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2024 to support research and training under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The award will fund a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how gene-environment interactions have shaped the repeated evolution of differentiated multicellularity. The fellow will employ single-cell transcriptomics and comparative analyses to examine how...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, provided under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The $240,000 award supports research and training to investigate the rules governing the evolution of convergent color patterns in the clownfish-sea anemone symbiosis. The research aims to determine the ecological conditions that led to the development of the three distinct color patterns observed across the 28 clownfish species, despite not sharing a common ancestor. The project will use an integrative approach combining behavioral, dietary, and microbiome analyses to understand how clownfish adaptations to their anemone hosts influence color pattern convergence. The fellowship will also include educational outreach activities to broaden participation in science, particularly in underrepresented and underfunded communities.
