The Vienna Graduate School of Population Genetics welcomes students to apply for the PhD program. Eligible are candidates with backgrounds in either theoretical, computational or experimental fields such as bioinformatics, biomathematics, statistics, evolutionary genetics, functional genetics, theoretical and experimental population genetics. Applicants with a genuine interest for interdisciplinary research in evolution will be preferred.
