Description

The Australian Centre for Evolutionary Biology & Biodiversity is convening a workshop targeted at Postdocs and final year PhD students with a solid working knowledge of Bayesian phylogenetic inference, based on morphological and/or molecular sequence data.
 
Topics will canvas current and novel methods in phylogenetics, including:
  • Introduction to RevBayes
  • Bayesian philosophy and priors
  • MCMC procedures
  • Model choice
  • Strict/relaxed clock models
  • Tree calibration QC
  • Total evidence dating
The organisers are currently seeking expressions of interest (maximum of 30 people). $200 registration will include computing facilities, catered lunches and welcome dinner.
 
Please email simon.tierney@adelaide.edu.au stating current position and relevant experience by 15 July 2014.
