Postdoc and Phd in Sfb Project 'polygenic

vor 2 Wochen

Wien, Wien, Österreich MathHire Vollzeit

The SFB program is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and brings together eight research groups at four institutions in and around Vienna with the common goal of elucidating the evolutionary genetics of adaptation of complex phenotypes: Neda Barghi, Robert Kofler, Christian Schlötterer (Vetmeduni); Joachim Hermisson, Himani Sachdeva (Univ.

of Vienna); Magnus Nordborg, Kelly Swarts (Gregor Mendel Institute); Nick Barton (ISTA). For young scientists, this cluster offers a unique environment for interaction and personal growth.


The SFB aims to develop a framework for understanding polygenic adaptation and to establish new standards for the analysis of adaptive polygenic traits in GWAS and experimental evolution studies.

We will combine model-based conceptual work and data-driven approaches from GWAS and experimental evolution to achieve this goal.

The models and methods that will be developed integrate population genetic and quantitative genetic approaches to detect, analyze, and interpret genomic patterns of the "architecture of polygenic adaptation".


Postdoc positions (2 years with potential extension; FWF salary monthly € 4.351,90 before tax.

Application open until positions are filled):

  • 2 positions in evolutionary modeling (J. Hermisson and H. Sachdeva, Univ. of Vienna)

  • Characterizing the adaptive architecture of polygenic traits (N. Barghi)
  • Comparison of the genetic and adaptive architectures of polygenic traits (N. Barghi)
