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:...
This Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating how soil microbial communities near dead trees influence the assembly and biodiversity of the next generation of forest trees. The research project will use a reciprocal transplant experiment, microbial metabarcoding, and mathematical modeling to quantify the specificity of these soil...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000 in funding from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship. The project will investigate how genotype and environment shape gene expression in dikaryotic (two-nuclei per cell) fungi, focusing on the relative contributions of individual nuclei to transcription. The research aims to advance scientific understanding of how...
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 (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) FY 2023 award, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research and training focused on exploring the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes in a plant-fungal symbiosis. The $240,000 award will fund a 3-year project that aims to identify the genetic regulation occurring across plant and fungal species to understand how their...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the impacts of climate change on insect phenotypes, populations, and communities. The research aims to: 1) build a model to estimate how insect traits like body size and developmental timing respond to temperature variation, 2) quantify how these phenotypic changes affect population dynamics, and 3) determine how...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the role of phenotypic plasticity in enabling population persistence in novel environments. The $240,000 award, spanning 3 years from September 2025 to August 2028, will fund a genomic analysis of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to characterize the mechanisms of environmental assessment and how they vary across...
