Location of University of Trento
The selection of 12 doctoral positions for year 2011 is announced, 9 scholarships.
The University of Trento is a young Italian university that in less than 50 years has been able to achieve excellent results in didactics, research and international relations.
The International PhD Program in Biomolecular Sciences was activated in 2009 by the Centre for Integrative Biology (CIBIO) at the University of Trento, Italy.
The CIBIO, established in 2007, pursues the task of creating a suitable environment for merging classical cellular and molecular biology approaches with the new powerful tools of systems and synthetic biology, with the contribution of chemistry, physics, informatics, mathematics, and engineering in an integrative view of basic biological processes and of their derangement in disease. The main areas of interest rely on the presence of laboratories that carry-out research activities in different fields of biological sciences at CIBIO. There are also important teaching and research contributions from the departments of Physics, Mathematics, the Microsoft Research Centre for Computational and Systems Biology (COSBI) and Informatics and Communication Technology. The PhD School also benefits from interactions with regional foundations (e.g. FBK,FEM), which carry-out research activities and technological development.
The areas of interest include:
- Biochemistry
- Bioinformatics
- Computational Biology
- Developmental Biology
- Genetics
- Lipidomics and Biomembranes
- Metabolomics and metabolic Imaging
- Microbial Genomics
- Molecular and Cellular Biology
- Molecular Vaccinology
- Molecular Virology
- Nanobiotechnology
- Neurobiology
- Organic Chemistry
- Structural Biology
- Synthetic Biology
- Systems Biology
Length of the PhD program: three years
Official language: English
Contents
The Doctorate School in Biomolecular Sciences is characterized by a program that enables students to acquire high-level skills in different research areas, encouraging the development of scientific and technological progress in innovative areas that require interdisciplinary approaches.
The teaching and research programs of the Doctoral School aim to promote cooperation with other Italian and foreign universities. For this reason, periods abroad not exceeding one year, are mandatory.
The training is characterized by an appropriate balance between:
1) courses, mostly concentrated in the first and second year and
2) research activity in the laboratory.
Each doctorate student attends a timely training course that includes, besides the research performed under the supervision of the tutor and advisor in accordance with the respective competences, base and advanced courses as well as specialization courses at the University of Trento.
The students enrolled at the International Doctoral School in Biomolecular Sciences are obliged to attend courses, seminars, symposia and practical courses organized by the Doctorate School.
