This course is conceived specifically for PhD students as a possible part of their curriculum. It is intended to fill the existing gap in the offered courses, most of which target primary the master students. This lecture therefore covers topics discussed at the advanced / doctoral level. It is possible to attend this course more than once.
The course usually takes a block of several days (depending on the invited lecturer and the subject). A typical part of the course is the individual work of the students connected with the elaboration of a written paper and its discussion (in case of lecture focused on eco-evo concepts) or systematic hands on data analysis within a practical project (in case of methodologically-oriented course). This also serves as a formal test requirement. The course is held every semester by different external lecturer or visiting academic (typically postdoctoral researcher or visiting professor) and the topic reflects their research and methodological focus. The topics covers particular field primarily from plant ecology and evolution, but often overlapping into other disciplines (systematics, genetics, evolutionary ecology, theoretical ecology). The course language in English. The aim of this type of lecture is to give a more detailed explanation of a field / problem than can be done in regular lectures, and to show how science is done in this particular case; usually it is not a systematic interpretation of a discipline. This course is designed to allow for broadening the horizons and thus complements other more systematically designed lectures for all PhD students. Thus, participation of students with primary research focus further from the topic is also strongly recommended. Details for course fall 2025: This autumn Joern Gerchen, postdoc from our Dept will lead a hands-on course on making reproducible pipelines for various bioinformatic purposes (details in the attached flyer). The course will teach broader concepts useful for streamlining diverse bioinformatic tasks, making it a sufficiently broad course for any student or ecology and evolution interested in tips and tricks on how to work efficiently in setting workflows for large data analysis.
