This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) for FY 2024. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes across spatial and biological scales. The key objectives are to characterize variation in bioenergetic and behavioral traits, study how this variation...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) provides $240,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The fellowship supports a research and training plan that aims to enhance understanding of human-wildlife interactions in the face of global change, with a focus on birds worldwide. The fellow will develop a new modeling framework and global database to predict human-wildlife interactions and determine key drivers....
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 purpose of the fellowship is to increase the participation of groups underrepresented in biology. The fellow's proposed studies will investigate interactions between migratory and resident bird species during spring migration stopover periods, which have implications for migration ecology, climate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 supports a postdoctoral research fellowship from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The project aims to integrate historical museum collections and avian conservation genomics to understand how bird species in California have responded to past environmental changes and forecast their vulnerability to future climate change. The research will develop a framework for incorporating...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 over three years starting on September 1, 2024 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research aims to investigate the effects of bioengineered organisms on community assembly and ecosystem functioning in a soil microbial community. The fellow will use genetic engineering to create microbial consortia and study the impacts on community 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 $414,000 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship funding will support integrative research investigating the intersection of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in elevational migrant bird species across the Andes and Himalayas. The fellow will generate valuable museum specimens including frozen tissues and genomic,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $270,000 supports a postdoctoral fellowship focused on exploring the interactions between plants, animals, and people in a complex forest ecosystem in Madagascar. The research will use genetic and statistical tools to study relationships between species, with the goal of understanding how habitat changes impact the health and stability of the ecosystem. The fellowship will provide the researcher...
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). The fellowship will fund research and training that investigates how DNA transfer drives ecological relationships across different levels of biological organization. The project aims to uncover patterns of DNA transfers within microbial communities and use this information to model past and...
