Members of the SFB met for a kick-off meeting at the Faculty of Mathematics (Univ. of Vienna).

We're excited that the SFB has officially started on January 1st! Several excellent postdocs and PhD students were hired and we're looking forward to the first joint meeting in March.

Our website is online and the call for PhD students, postdocs and administrative manager open.

The Austrian Science Fund FWF approved the Special Research Program (SFB)  "Polygenic adaptation: from single selected loci to the infinitesimal model".

During a 4-year period, funds of 3.9 million Euro will enable the SFB members to conduct excellent research in the field of population genetics.

The SFB is a joint collaboration of Neda Barghi (speaker), Robert Kofler and Christian Schlötterer (Institute of Population Genetics, Vetmeduni), vice speaker Joachim Hermisson and Himani Sachdeva (Univ. of Vienna), Magnus Nordborg and Kelly Swarts (GMI), and Nick Barton (ISTA).
