This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant in the amount of $270,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the evolutionary determinants of protein biophysics. The research aims to study the relationship between protein stability and effective population size, which tunes the balance between mutation, selection, and genetic drift, in order to understand how these evolutionary forces shape the basic biology...
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...
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 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...
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 Project Grant of $138,000 supports an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology for fiscal year 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship funds research and training investigating the role of genomic preadaptation and physiological state in modulating bacterial invasion success. Specifically, the fellow will quantify invasion outcomes across diverse Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from different environments. The fellow will...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral fellowship to study the role of epigenetics in bacterial adaptation. The $270,000 award, granted on June 1, 2025, will fund research to uncover how epigenetic modifications influence the ability of bacteria, particularly E. coli, to survive and thrive in changing environments, including in response to antimicrobial compounds. The research aims to...
This $240,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on discovering and functionally exploring nature's repurposed enzymes in specialized metabolism.
