This Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the interplay between structural genetic variants, phenotype, and local adaptation in the horned lark songbird. The research aims to comprehensively examine how complex structural genetic changes, rather than just single nucleotide polymorphisms, contribute to population structure, speciation, and environmental adaptation in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000 in funding over a 3-year period starting July 1, 2025. The award supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding how pathogens influence the success of invasive rodent species in New England. The research will involve generating a historical time transect of native and invasive rodent metagenomes to analyze host genome adaptations and pathogen...
This Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the evolutionary consequences of genetic rescue. The project will use data from an experiment with Trinidadian guppies to investigate the genomic basis and adaptive potential of populations following genetic rescue interventions. The fellow will also lead a summer field course for undergraduates at...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund $240,000 over three years to support an integrative investigation into microevolutionary change in salamanders impacted by urbanization. Awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the funding will support a postdoctoral research fellowship focusing on the northern two-lined salamander. The fellow will examine genomic and phenotypic consequences of urbanization by sampling salamanders from urban, suburban, and...
