This three-year, $240,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research into how urban environmental heterogeneity and societal inequity shape phenotypic traits in wildlife. The fellow will conduct field research in the San Francisco Bay Area comparing the behavior and physiology of raccoons across high- and low-income neighborhoods, as well as surrounding nonurban areas, to understand how variations in urban living conditions like pollution and green space availability...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $276,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral fellowship in biology from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The fellowship will fund the collection and analysis of gut microbiome samples from over 3,300 animal species, representing the most comprehensive dataset to date. This will allow for improved understanding of the origins and ecological controls of gut microbiomes across the...
This $276,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant funds postdoctoral research fellowship in biology for fiscal years 2023 through 2025. The fellowship supports integrative research investigating microbial interactions across trophic scales and their contributions to host phenotype in a carnivore model. Specifically, the fellow will characterize external microbiomes in soil, water and prey, quantify their contributions to black-footed ferret gut microbiomes, and test whether these...
This NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) FY 2023 award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure provides $137,000 to support research and training for an early-career scientist. The project aims to investigate the role of gut microbiomes in helping herbivorous hosts, such as snowshoe hares and greater sage-grouse, tolerate toxins found in their plant-based diets. The research will use multi-omics approaches to determine the microbial...
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 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 from the National Science Foundation provides $138,000 to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology for fiscal years 2022 through 2024. The fellowship funding is awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in biology. The fellowship will support research and training to advance understanding of how maternal microbial exposures during development promote tolerance for beneficial microbes and protection...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the genomic basis of rapid urban adaptation in house mice. The $240,000 award, effective December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2027, will enable the fellow to: 1) characterize temporal shifts in urban mouse population structure and genetic diversity, and 2) identify genomic signatures of rapid adaptation to urban...
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 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...
