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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program award provides a 3-year, $270,000 postdoctoral fellowship to conduct research on the ecological relationships between plants, animals, and people in Madagascar's forests. The project will use genetic and statistical tools to study species interactions and how they maintain ecosystem stability. The research aims to enhance understanding of how habitat changes affect plants, animals, and human communities, with potential...
This $414,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship activities from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will support integrative research investigating the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment and phenotypes. Specifically, the fellow will conduct multiple experiments in defaunated and intact tropical forests in Ecuador to investigate how the...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from August 2025 to July 2028 to support a postdoctoral fellowship research project. The key objectives are to: 1) reconstruct the evolutionary history of diet shifts in seed bugs (Lygaeoidea) using genomic data, 2) investigate the relationship between diet shifts and speciation in this insect group, and 3) characterize the microbiome composition and its...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology focused on the evolution of masting as a mechanism for forest resilience under climate change. The 3-year fellowship will fund research to identify genetic variants associated with reproductive traits in two pine species, examine how these variants change over time and terrain in response to temperature gradients, and determine...
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...
