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][7] She became a Hanna H. Grey Fellow at HHMI in 2017, and was hired for her current assistant professorship at Stanford University in 2019.[3]

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:
