This Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is funding a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The fellowship supports a research and training plan aimed at improving conservation efforts for bird species in California impacted by climate change. The research will integrate historical museum collections and avian conservation genomics to identify areas where birds are most vulnerable to climate change and where they are likely to persist. This will provide a framework for incorporating collections-based research into conservation genomic studies that integrate occupancy, demographic, and predictive modeling. The fellowship will also facilitate activities to diversify scientific participation, including mentoring undergraduates, leading skills workshops, and developing educational displays for museum outreach. The award period runs from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028.
