This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 to support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the rules of life governing interactions between plant genomes, environment, and phenotypes. The project will test the assumption that plant leaf airspaces are saturated with water vapor, which is used in important Earth systems models. If these airspaces are found to be unsaturated, it would overturn decades...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $207,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2026. The fellowship supports research and training under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Specifically, the fellow will conduct integrative research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a 3-year NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship supports research to understand the biological mechanisms that enable plants to adapt to drought stress and climate variability. The research will examine genetic and phenotypic differences in the yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus) that confer drought tolerance across diverse environmental...
NSF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY FY 2021: INVADERS FROM THE SEA: UNEARTHING THE GENOMIC BASIS OF MARINE-TO-TERRESTRIAL LIFE-HISTORY TRANSITIONS This $207,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure will fund research from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant aims to advance understanding of major problems confronting the nation by promoting progress in the biological sciences....
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 (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 from June 15, 2023 to May 31, 2026 supports an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to study the evolution and development of retinal specializations in fish, which can help understand how the environment and development shape the biology and evolution of the eye. The key products of this project include: 1) evolutionary genomics and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 in funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The fellowship supports research and training focused on investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes of lichen holobionts (the lichen organism and its associated microbiome) in response to climate change. The key objectives are to:...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $216,000 Project Grant to support a POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to study the evolution and characterization of C4 and C3-C4 plant phenotypes. The goal of the Biological Sciences program is to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and...
This National Science Foundation award provides $138,000 in funding under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025. The fellowship will fund research and training to investigate the association between leaf traits and climate variables in plant species found in California and Hawaii. Specifically, the fellow will develop a database cataloging leaf characteristics of native plants across climate zones...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems totals $249,000 and runs from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026. The award funds a Plant Genome Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support research using duckweed as a model to study plant responses to environmental stressors. The fellowship recipient, Bryan Ramirez-Corona, will conduct their research at the University of Washington...
