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...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the ecological implications of whole genome duplication in plants. The $240,000 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will enable the fellow to develop new phylogenetic comparative methods to understand how whole-genome duplication impacts climatic niche dynamics. The research will leverage existing...
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 award provides $138,000 in funding under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025. The fellowship will fund research and training to investigate the association between leaf traits and climate variables in plant species found in California and Hawaii. Specifically, the fellow will develop a database cataloging leaf characteristics of native plants across climate zones...
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.
