This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) grant award of $240,000 supports a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the evolutionary origins and consequences of novel sensory capabilities in venomous vipers. The research aims to combine whole-genome analyses with high-resolution CT scans to quantify how venom and vision traits have evolved in coordination across molecular and anatomical scales in these snakes. The research will provide...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship in biology. The fellowship supports research to study the skeletal and behavioral underpinnings of extreme locomotor diversity in snakes. The research aims to better understand how snakes with a simple body plan can evolve numerous strategies to move through different environments, which has implications for ecology, conservation, and the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship that will investigate the rules governing the interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes related to the co-development of the trigeminal nerve, teeth, and heat-sensing pit organs in snakes. The research aims to examine the processes of tooth replacement and the associated vascular and nerve connections, as...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2025. The Fellowship will support research and training investigating the ordered evolution and muscle-specific specializations of constriction behaviors in snakes. The Fellow will map different constriction forms on the snake family tree, study specializations of their muscles, and investigate...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $276,000 will fund an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will analyze genomic and phenotypic data from rattlesnake hybrid zones to understand the evolution of reproductive isolation. By comparing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,501,418 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Arlington to fund a collaborative research project examining snake venom systems as a model for understanding the structure and evolution of regulatory networks underlying organism-level physiological traits. The project, which runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2027, aims to advance fundamental understanding of how new gene regulatory networks arise and how variation in these networks...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant to fund a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the genomic and environmental factors underlying reproductive isolation and adaptive introgression in speckled rattlesnakes. The 3-year award, effective September 1, 2024, will support research and training to understand how natural selection influences speciation, as well as the development of online tutorials and book chapters on...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology. The Fellowship will fund research and training from July 2022 through June 2024 to evaluate the performance of ancestry estimation methods in garter snake populations. The Fellow will use simulated and sequence data from three sympatric hybridizing garter snake species to assess how the spatial distribution of discrete...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $679,192 Project Grant to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to study the genomic basis of evolutionary innovations in squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes). The research will compile comprehensive phenotypic data for 370 living and fossil squamate species, build a database of complete genomes representing over 90% of living squamate families, and use comparative genomics and phylogenetics to reveal the molecular changes associated with...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. The fellowship funding will support research exploring how trait regulation evolves from...
