Doctoral School of Ecology and Evolution

07.10.2020

On 1 July 2020, 14 new doctoral schools were established at the University of Vienna. The first doctoral candidates have started their work with these doctoral schools in the winter semester of 2020/2021. Another 3-4 doctoral schools are scheduled to be established over the course of 2021.

Doctoral School of Ecology and Evolution

The Doctoral School of Ecology and Evolution is devoted to educating students in advancing our knowledge on the ecology and evolution of extant and ancestral organisms, populations and communities. In Ecology, the ambition is to better understand the mechanistic and evolutionary drivers of patterns and processes from gene regulation to the structure and function of ecosystems and the impact of communities on the biogeochemical cycles and their adaptive capacity in response to environmental change. In Evolution, we address the evolutionary processes leading to changes in organization and temporal dynamics of organisms, populations and species at the molecular, developmental, morphological and physiological level.
