- This Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides funding for a Postdoctoral Fellowship to support research and training that will contribute to innovative advances in biology. The project examines nutritional provisioning in amphibians, focusing on the impacts of seasonality and disease on reproductive traits. The Fellow will integrate field observations, laboratory experiments, and mathematical models to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $270,000.00 in funding from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 to support a postdoctoral fellowship focused on researching the mechanisms that allow a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium to exist as a permanent compartment, called a "diazoplast," within a photosynthetic alga. The research aims to identify and test genes that are important for diazoplast biology, including those involved in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,000.00 in funding from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028. The award supports a Postdoctoral Fellowship to investigate the microbial ecology of the extremophile choanoflagellate Barroeca monosierra. The research will examine how environmental stressors like high salinity, arsenic, and cyanide drive adaptations and symbiosis in this recently discovered multicellular...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support an integrative investigation of host-parasite coevolution across heterogeneous environments from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the...
- 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 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $270,000 in funding from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029 to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the eco-evolutionary impacts of cyanobacterial diets on host-parasite interactions in freshwater ecosystems. The research aims to uncover the molecular basis for parasite susceptibility in the Daphnia-Metschnikowia host-parasite system and determine whether susceptibility is related to gut enzyme profile and genes. This project will advance scientific understanding of how harmful algal blooms and cyanotoxins can influence disease dynamics in lakes and ponds, which is important from both an ecological and public health perspective. The postdoctoral fellow will receive training in genetic and evolutionary techniques, and will support the training and professional development of future scientists.
