Evolutionary genetics is central to a wide range of biological questions. The intensive four-day course will give a thorough introduction to the subject, showing its broad scope, and teaching a variety of techniques that can be used to model the evolutionary process, and that can be applied to diverse problems. The course is aimed at graduate students with diverse backgrounds - both in evolutionary biology, and coming in from different fields. Teaching will be a combination of lectures, discussion groups, and worked examples; simulation software will be provided. The faculty consists of Nick Barton, Jon Bollback and Sylvia Cremer (IST Austria), Reinhard Bürger, Joachim Hermisson and Ines Hellmann (U Vienna), Magns Nordberg, (Gregor Mendel Institute, Vienna), Christian Schlötterer (Vetmeduni Vienna), Daniel Kronauer (Harvard U), Daven Presgraves (U Rochester).
