This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $276,000 supports a postdoctoral fellowship in biology for fiscal years 2022 through 2024 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship will fund research and training investigating the spatiotemporal coordination of cell and chloroplast division in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Using gene editing, live cell microscopy, and other techniques, the fellow will test hypotheses about cytoskeletal structures...
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 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), funds a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the "adaptive costs of multifunctionality in rhodopsins." The $270,000 award, effective July 1, 2025, will support research using cyanobacterial rhodopsins as models to understand how multiple gene functions can restrict a gene's ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. The research aims to produce rhodopsin...
This $240,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on discovering and functionally exploring nature's repurposed enzymes in specialized metabolism. The research aims to identify and characterize new enzymes that have gained novel functions through evolutionary changes, with the potential to discover useful tools for biotechnology and medicine. The fellowship will support a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by St. Catherine University to investigate the genes and mechanisms underlying the symbiotic relationship between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria. The $109,969 award, active from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will enable the researchers to conduct experiments examining 18 legume species and 2 rhizobia strains across different nitrogen...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 4-year, $191,371 Project Grant to the University of Florida to conduct research on the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between plants and bacteria. This grant is funded through the NSF Division of Biological Sciences and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) provide a data-intensive framework to understand how plants and bacteria form nitrogen-fixing partnerships and...
