Molly Schumer is an American scientist who studies evolution, hybridization, and population genetics. She is an assistant professor of biology at Stanford University.[1] She is a member of Stanford Bio-X and a Hannah H. Grey Fellow at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.[2] [3]

Education

Schumer completed her Bachelor of Arts in 2009 at Reed College, earning Phi Beta Kappa.[4] [5] She went on to pursue her PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University (jointly supervised by Peter Andolfatto and Gil Rosenthal), finishing in February 2016.[6] [7]

After her PhD, Schumer worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University with Molly Przeworski before joining the Harvard Society of Fellows in July 2016, where she worked in the lab of David Reich.[8] She became a Hanna H. Grey Fellow at HHMI in 2017, and was hired for her current assistant professorship at Stanford University in 2019.

Research

Schumer's lab investigates biological hybrids and population genetics. Model organisms used in the lab are primarily fish and include the Gila topminnow, Xiphophorus (swordtail), and Julidochromis.[9]

Key Publications

Schumer has authored or co-authored multiple publications that have been cited 100 or more times.[10] As of January 2021, these include:

Awards, fellowships, and grants

Schumer won a 2019 Rosalind Franklin Young Investigator award from the Genetics Society of America and was named the 2018 Rising Star in Evolutionary Biology by the Atwood colloquium.[16] [17] She has received many other awards and honors, including:
