SCHOLARSHIP 2011 IN BIOMOLECULAR SCIENCES – ITALY
PhD Scholarships 2011 in Biomolecular Sciences in Univeristy of Trento in Italy
About Univeristy:
The last ten years have witnessed an unprecedented revolution in biology. The availability of complete and annotated genome sequences for many species and the increasing affordability of high-throughput approaches for the global monitoring of macromolecules in cells are providing the basis for the mechanistic understanding of living tissues, both in their physiology and in the determinants of their diseased state.
This understanding is starting to allow a rationale reengineering of regulatory networks underlying organismal metabolism, a prediction of the onset and progression of diseases, and a systematic exploration for new and effective therapeutic principles.
Detail:
The University of Trento announces the 26th cycle of the Doctoral School in Biomolecular Sciences.
Eligibility:
Applications for the doctoral positions are accepted from candidates,regardless of gender, age and nationality, who have an Italian “laurea specialistica” or “laurea magistrale” in compliance with Ministerial Decree no. 509 of 3.11.1999 as amended, a university degree of the previously enforced Italian regulations, or an equivalent academic degree obtained abroad.The degree in scientific areas will be a preferential title. Applicants who have a foreign degree which has not been officially recognized as equivalent to an Italian degree must submit a request for equivalence in the application.
Application:
The application, together with all the attachments required, must arrive at the University of Trento by the 30th of September 2010 in one of the following ways:
