This National Science Foundation award provides $276,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2025. The fellowship will support research and training on how an insect's overwintering life stage impacts its vulnerability to energy depletion caused by warming winters. The fellow, based in Stockholm, Sweden, will measure energy use rates in nine butterfly species that overwinter as adults, larvae, or pupae. Laboratory experiments will then link...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 funds a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the fellow will conduct experiments and genomic sequencing to determine how temperature affects interactions between the tree hole...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) that will investigate plant-butterfly dynamics across changing landscapes. The research project will address how variation in habitat quality affects native plant-butterfly networks, including several butterfly species known to migrate between the western United States and Mexico. The research...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The grant supports an investigation into the role of transcriptional plasticity in insect host specialization, focused on two species of pine sawfly. The research aims to identify the genes that allow insects to adapt to changes in their environment, which is important for understanding how organisms survive and adapt...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship will fund a research and training plan to study how climate change-driven increases in temperature affect the bioturbation activities of chironomid larvae and the resulting impacts on nutrient cycling and bacterial activity in freshwater ecosystems, particularly in urban streams in Puerto Rico....
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 National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,000 supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2025. The award funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology to develop a comprehensive mathematical model of multisensory integration inspired by insect brain function. The fellow will leverage tools from nonlinear dynamical systems to model how insects combine distinct sensory cues like...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under CFDA 47.074 (Biological Sciences) will support a 3-year research project investigating how temperature influences the evolution of mating signal complexity in jumping spiders across North America. The $240,000 award will fund the fellow's research and training, which will integrate physiological experiments, behavioral trials, and evolutionary analyses to examine how temperature impacts the production and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding how changes in precipitation patterns due to climate change affect plant species interactions and coexistence. The 3-year research project, starting on March 1, 2025, will quantify the impacts of different precipitation regimes on the survival, growth, and reproduction of four annual plant species from...
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...
