This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to study plumage coloration and evolution in tropical birds. The research aims to elucidate the genetic basis and evolutionary history of species-specific plumage signals, which enable coexistence of multiple bird species in the same environment. The fellowship will involve microevolutionary and macroevolutionary analyses...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $973,030 supports research into the rapid phenotypic evolution of pigmentation genes in South American seed-eating birds (genus Sporophila) through 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables detailed study of the chemical, structural, and genetic mechanisms underlying color production and patterning in avian feathers. Researchers from Cornell University will analyze pigment composition, nano- and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $276,000 funds research and training activities from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award supports a Postdoctoral Fellowship for Jackie Childers to conduct integrative research on the evolution of avian coloration in weaver birds (Ploceidae) at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology. The Fellow will combine phenotypic...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $138,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024.

Specifically, the fellow will conduct a comparative study of axial skeleton evolution in birds using genetic,...
The National Science Foundation awarded $414,000 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The fellowship funding will support integrative research investigating the intersection of genomes, environments, and phenotypes in elevational migrant bird species across the Andes and Himalayas. The fellow will generate valuable museum specimens including frozen tissues and genomic,...
This federal Project Grant award of $240,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2024. The research project will investigate the evolutionary genomics and population genomics of long-distance migration in shorebirds, an extreme biological adaptation to seasonality. The research aims to identify genome regions involved in migratory adaptation and evaluate the influence of...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026 to support an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The fellowship will fund research investigating the genetic basis of structural coloration in animals under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The fellow will sequence genomes from over 100 lizard specimens to identify genomic regions controlling structural blue color variation versus...
This $240,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), funds a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) to investigate the rules governing divergence and sympatry in island radiations of Fiji whistler birds. The research aims to understand how new species form and evolve on isolated islands, with a focus on elucidating the genetic underpinnings of plumage patterns and the conditions needed for successful...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 supports a postdoctoral research fellowship from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028.
