The 17th annual Sydney Phylogenetics Workshop will be held at the University of Sydney on 25–26 June 2026.
The workshop will provide an introduction to phylogenetic analysis, including practical exercises based on the software MEGA, IQ-TREE, and BEAST 2. It is primarily aimed at early career researchers (students and postdocs), but other attendees are welcome. Prior knowledge of basic phylogenetics, or at least familiarity with molecular data and interpreting phylogenetic trees, is very helpful.
The workshop will be run in partial hybrid mode, with space for 30 in-person attendees (lectures and practical exercises) and 80 places for online attendees (lectures only).
Please complete this short application form if you would like to be considered for a place at the workshop. Priority will be given to applicants at early career stages (students and postdocs), applicants in the Asia-Pacific region, and applicants who will derive the greatest benefit in the near future. Attendance at the workshop will be free for successful applicants.
Applications will close at 11.59 pm on Friday 29 May.
*** UPDATE: Application deadline has been extended to 11.59 pm on Friday 5 June! ***
