This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal project grant award of $279,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Arizona. The research and training plan, led by Postdoctoral Fellow Tamsen Dunn under the sponsorship of Dr. Michael Barker, seeks to use deep learning techniques to assess the impact of whole genome duplication (polyploidy) on gene networks important for crop domestication and resilience. The project aims to integrate data from plants across evolutionary history to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of polyploidy, with the goal of empowering plant scientists to make improvements to crops. As part of the fellowship, the postdoctoral researcher will also serve as a mentor to graduate and undergraduate students, preparing them for leadership roles in the scientific community. The award period runs from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028.
