PhD Course: call for the year 2010
The Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche "Mario Negri", IRFMN, via Giuseppe La
Masa 19, 20156 Milano Italy is inviting internal students (already working in the Istituto "Mario
Negri") and external students to take part in the PhD course organized in collaboration with the
Open University. A total number of 10 new PhD students is programmed for year 2010.
The International Graduate Program of the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche "Mario
Negri"(IRFMN) is organized in collaboration with the Open University (Milton Keynes, UK)
which confers a PhD title recognized worldwide. The Program is part of the educational and training
activities taking place in the two campuses of Milano and Bergamo. The major aim of the
Graduate Program is to train students for research careers in the field of Pharmacology and
Toxicology with reference to Cancer, Neurological, Cardiovascular and Kidney diseases. Other areas
of interest are Environmental Toxicology, Organ Transplantation, Rare Diseases, Molecular
Pharmacology, Public Health and Human Epidemiology.
The PhD course is an educational programme of excellence with a standard duration of 3 and a
maximal duration of 4 years. To guarantee the highest scientific standards, access is limited
to young investigators with at least one year’s experience in any field of experimental or clinical
research. Preferential qualifications include one or more original scientific articles in
peer-reviewed international journals. The PhD programme is open to individuals below the age
of 35 years. In accordance with the relevant international, European and Italian legislation,
and the "equal opportunity employer" status of the IRFMN, no distinction for applicants is made as
to sex, nationality, health status or religious opinion. Italian prospective PhD students
must have an Italian doctorate degree (laurea breve or laurea magistrale) in any scientific
discipline. Foreign students must have graduate degrees equivalent to those for the Italian
candidates.
The annual tuition fees (currently 1832 GB pounds) for each PhD student are covered by IRFMN
for the entire duration of the PhD programme and for no longer than the maximum accepted duration
of the course (4 years). If no financial support is available to the candidate, IRFMN may
provide the student with a negotiable monthly stipend in the form of a fellowship for the entire
duration of the PhD course (maximum 4 years). Subject to negotiation and apartment
availability, external and foreign students are eligible for lodging in the Institute's guest
house. Interested prospective students must contact the Department Head chosen from the list
available in Appendix 1 to evaluate the possibility of submitting a pre-registration. For a
detailed description of the procedures involved, prospective PhD students are referred to the
accompanying document "The PhD program at the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri". The
prospective external student must transmit the pre-registration material by May 28,
2010. The final rankings of the call will be available in this WEB-site by July 15, 2010 and
successful applicants will be asked to submit the documents necessary for the final registration to
