IUSS Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology PhD Fellowships for International Applicants

The
Institute for Advanced Study and the University of Pavia is delighted
to offer Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology PhD Fellowships to study in
Italy. Applicants of all nationalities are eligible to apply for this
fellowship programme.
The
PhD program prepares highly skilled and brilliant researchers, open to work
with an interdisciplinary approach to scientific problems.

IUSS-Pavia,
the Institute for Advanced Study of Pavia, is the last step of a long lasting
higher education process started on 825 when King Lotharius appointed Pavia,
the ancient capital of the Lombard kingdom, as the site for higher education of
his kingdom.  This process went through the foundation in 1361 by Emperor
Charles IV of the Studium Generale later on named University of Pavia.
