January 17, 2016

Over the past years, Vienna has developed into one of the leading
centres of population genetics. The Vienna Graduate School of
Population Genetics has been founded to provide a training opportunity
for PhD students to build on this excellent on site expertise.

We invite applications from highly motivated and outstanding students
with a background in one of the following disciplines: bioinformatics,
statistics, evolutionary genetics, functional genetics, theoretical
and experimental population genetics. Students from related
disciplines, such as physics or mathematics are also welcome to apply.

Topics include:

·      Population trees and polymorphism-aware phylogenetic models

·      Inferring evolutionary trajectories from time series data

·      Wolbachia infection dynamics in evolving Drosophila populations

·      Functional characterization of beneficial alleles in Drosophila

·      Modified evolve and re-sequence design

·      Convergent and adaptive evolution during ecotype formation

·      Population history and adaptation in natural Arabidopsis populations

Only complete applications (application form, CV, motivation letter,
university certificates, indication of the two preferred topics in a
single pdf) received by January 17, 2016 will be considered. Two
letters of recommendation need to be sent directly by the referees.

Monthly salary of a successful candidate will be according to the
regulations of the Austrian Science Fund FWF. All information about
