Proposals for NSF's Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology (PRFB)
are due 6 November
(https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503622). One focus
for the fellowships this year is */Research Using Biological
Collections./*//The definition of "biological collections" is broad
enough that it includes working with the 45-year dataset we have
collected at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory on the phenology
and abundance of wildflowers, and the 10-year companion dataset on bee
phenology and abundance (which also has associated curated specimens).
We would be glad to work with prospective postdocs interested in writing
a proposal to take advantage of these resources and the NSF program.
Projects could include a field research component at RMBL in the summer,
and working with one of more of us during the rest of the year. For more
information on the phenology project see

Collection of the wildflower and bee phenology data is supported by a
grant from NSF's program Long-Term Research in Environmental Biology.
