PhD Program in Population Genetics (Vienna)

Topic:
Natural populations carry a wealth of molecular variation and there is
increasing evidence that a large proportion of it is functionally
diverged. Thus, understanding the functional implications if natural
variation provides insight into the adaptation processes in natural
populations.

After the first phase in the genomics projects, which were focusing on
the sequencing of one genome for each species, the emphasis has now
shifted to the genome wide characterization of natural variation. In
particular the new generation of sequencing technology (454, Solexa
etc.) is contributing to a hitherto unprecedented wealth of information
about naturally occurring sequence variation. Nevertheless, the advances
in cataloging natural variation are not matched with our advances in
understanding the functional differences among the naturally occurring
alleles.

Our PhD program aims to train a new generation of scientists that is
able to deal with this new challenge. Compared to classic forward
genetics, which typically isolated mutations with strong effects,
naturally occurring alleles are expected to show only subtle differences
in function, which may nevertheless have dramatic effects in nature.
Hence, the analysis of natural variation requires new approaches and
tools to understand the functional differences of naturally occurring
alleles.
