First unit: 11.03.2020

Due to the current situation and University regulations, we will have no talks before the Easter break. HOWEVER, as already announced through the email list, we plan an e-meeting on Wednesday, March 25. Further information will be distributed (as always) using our email list.

Students, who want to participate and are not yet on my email list need to contact me immediately. As announced previously, to give a presentation in this Seminar (which is required for being graded), please contact me or Joachim Hermisson per email, so that we can start planning your presentation. Unless we already know you well enough, please indicate in your email at which stage in your master studies you are, what kind of courses beyond the mandatory bachelor courses you have already attended, and point out topics within population genetics you are most interested in.

Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this seminar (called the “Journal Club”), recent papers in theoretical population genetics are discussed. Knowledge of the basic theory is required to follow this seminar. The papers to be discussed are distributed in advance by email. Participants are expected to have read the paper, since the seminar focuses on discussion. Current and prospective PhD students are advised to attend this seminar. If you are interested, please send an email to Reinhard.Buerger@univie.ac.at, so that you can be added to the email list and receive the materials. The language is English. Students should notice that this seminar is much more advanced than the AG Biomathematics.
