This Project Grant award of $240,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on understanding the evolutionary consequences of genetic rescue. The project will use data from an experiment with Trinidadian guppies to investigate the genomic basis and adaptive potential of populations following genetic rescue interventions. The fellow will also lead a summer field course for undergraduates at...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting September 1, 2024. The award supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the genomic basis and evolutionary implications of long-distance migration in shorebirds. The research aims to: 1) identify genome regions involved in adaptation for extreme migratory behaviors, and 2) evaluate how the demands of long-distance...
NSF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY FY 2021: ELUCIDATING GENOMIC, TRANSCRIPTOMIC, AND PHENOTYPIC CONSEQUENCES OF GENETIC RESCUE IN WILD POPULATIONS This two-year $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure will fund research into the genomic, transcriptomic, and phenotypic consequences of genetic rescue in wild populations. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress...
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. The project aims to integrate historical museum collections and avian conservation genomics to understand how bird species in California have responded to past environmental changes and forecast their vulnerability to future climate change. The research will develop a framework for incorporating...
This Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the interplay between structural genetic variants, phenotype, and local adaptation in the horned lark songbird. The research aims to comprehensively examine how complex structural genetic changes, rather than just single nucleotide polymorphisms, contribute to population structure, speciation, and environmental adaptation in...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on inferring genetic admixture histories via mechanistic modeling in structured ancestral populations. The $240,000 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will support the fellow's research to develop a method for understanding the genealogical history of genetically admixed populations, with a focus on...
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) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The fellowship will support research and training to investigate the rules governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes, with a focus on understanding how repetitive DNA sequences, particularly a satellite repeat on the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster, influence...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to fund an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2023. The purpose of the fellowship is to increase the participation of groups underrepresented in biology. The fellow's proposed studies will investigate interactions between migratory and resident bird species during spring migration stopover periods, which have implications for migration ecology, climate...
