PhD Fellowships 2011 in the University of Copenhagen In Denmark
About the University:
A central location in Copenhagen places the University of Copenhagen and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences squarely in the Oeresund Region and Medicon Valley – a major global centre of excellence for medicine and biotechnology. PHARMA provides education and research focusing on the pharmaceutical sector covering all the main aspects of drugs: the fundamental knowledge of how drugs act, the design and development of new active substances and their subsequent formulation into drugs, and the use and role of medicines in society.
Detail: The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Copenhagen is pleased to announce that eight PhD fellowships will be available from 1 October 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter.
