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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $270,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral fellowship to study the influence of plant-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on microbial activity in desert soils. The research aims to advance methods for measuring soil microbes in real-time and reveal how plant root systems shape soil ecosystems. The fellowship will integrate VOC measurements with multi-omic approaches to characterize...
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 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...
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....
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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology. The fellowship, awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund integrative research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes in innovative ways. Specifically, the fellow will conduct in vivo and in vitro testing of zebra finch...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the complex factors that influence animal responses to climate change. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund a research and training plan with two key objectives: 1) Synthesize available data on climate-induced range shifts across mammal species to build predictive...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to study the dynamics of the marsh-forest ecotone in the Chesapeake Bay region. The key objectives are to: Employ remote sensing techniques to track the migration rates of the leading and lagging edges of the marsh-forest ecotone. Use vegetation monitoring to explore how plant communities respond to varying migration...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding how changes in precipitation patterns due to climate change affect plant species interactions and coexistence. The 3-year research project, starting on March 1, 2025, will quantify the impacts of different precipitation regimes on the survival, growth, and reproduction of four annual plant species from...
