SEMINARI A.A 2022:
"Advances in Biology": Serie di Seminari offerti per i nostri Dottorandi
CORSO 2020 IN RESEARCH PROFESSIONAL SKILLS
La settimana del 16 maggio comincia il corso 2020 in Research Professional Skills per le studentesse e gli studenti di Dottorato.
Il corso, pensato con un forte approccio active-learning, introduce le studentesse e li studenti ad alcune competenze fondamentali per fare ricerca; in particolare, a come scrivere un articolo scientifico, come cercare e usare la letteratura scientifica, agli aspetti etici e legati ai diritti legali relativi all’utilizzo della letteratura, a come valutare il valore delle pubblicazioni e infine a come presentare i risultati della propria ricerca attraverso una presentazione orale. Maggiori dettagli sono disponibili sul volantino che potete scaricare da QUI
Nonostante sia stato pensato e strutturato per le dottorande e dottorandi, il corso in Research Professional Skills è aperto a tutte le giovani ricercatrici e i giovani ricercatori che muovono i loro primi passi nel mondo della ricerca a partire dal lavoro svolto durante il loro percorso di studi magistrale.
Fatto dagli Studenti di Dottorato:
The PhD Programme in Biology intends to promote and support the training of young graduates, selected on the basis of merit criteria through an internationally oriented doctorate course in order to develop a high level of qualification in biological fields so as to facilitate their integration in the job market. The present programme also intends to encourage interaction between universities and non-university research centers with various interests in the Life Sciences, represented by both Industries and Public Institutions.
In brief, the main objective of the research doctorate in Biology is to train highly qualified young researchers, specialized in specific areas for which there is a large job demand.
Specific objectives of the PhD in Biology are:
- High qualification: it represents one of the fundamental aspects of the PhD programme in Biology, thanks to the combination of training activities, in which researchers and experts with a high scientific profile on innovative topics participate, and courses aimed at enhancing the student's cultural background and research activities, constantly monitored by supervisors;
- Internationalization: the possibility of attending seminars organized ad hoc for doctoral students held by international experts allows students to make contacts and be inspired by highly scientifically qualified researchers, with potential perspectives on collaborations with foreign research groups. The international atmosphere of the Doctorate in Biology is also evidenced by the presence of foreign doctoral students and the participation in the Doctoral College of professors belonging to prestigious Universities or foreign Research Centers. Training period abroad of doctoral students in highly qualified foreign research Institutes and Universities is strongly encouraged, in accordance with the current PhD regulations;
- Enhancement of Excellence: in this context, the University is committed to promoting excellence through initiatives, such as the establishment of the Award for the best doctoral thesis, the publication of competitive University calls for PhD students for the allocation of funds for the organization of meetings and workshops on relevant topics within the PhD programme;
- Link between Higher Education /Specialized Research and the public and private Job opportunities: in this context, among the training activities organized for doctoral students, there are telematic meetings with experts from Research Bodies or industrial or corporate realities (for example meeting with Executive Sequencing Sale Specialist, EMEA West, Illumina), in order to provide the doctoral student with useful tools for a potential extension of the career path in public and industrial sectors.
The Department of Biology is also affiliated with the following Pegaso Regional Doctorates:
- Molecular Medicine - Regional Ph.D Programme Pegaso with administrative center at the University of Siena
- Biochemistry and Molecular Biology - Regional Ph.D Programme Pegaso with administrative center at the University of Siena
The Teaching offer consists of:
- courses activated by the Biology Ph.D. Course from year to year (offerta didattica esclusiva);
- a transversal didactic offer activated by the University of Pisa to its doctoral students and aimed at training in the most modern fields of international research and the labour market: Contamination Lab of Pisa and Career Labs for Doc.
With reference to training activities, each Ph.D. student is required to follow a teaching plan that will be a prerequisite for admission to the public discussion.
During the three-year period, Ph.D students must take two or more courses, totaling at least 60 hours, from among those offered by the Ph.D. Program in Biology (offerta didattica esclusiva).
Each course included in the offerta didattica esclusiva may end, at the discretion of the lecturer, with a positive verification or certification of attendance by the lecturer; in all other cases, the doctoral student may self-certify attendance.
Attendance at educational activities is mandatory for at least 70 percent of each course among those included in the offerta didattica esclusiva.
At the end of the three-year period, the Ph.D. student is required to submit documentation of the training activities carried out to the Board of teachers.
During the three-year period, the Ph.D. student has the faculty to follow teaching activities provided within the framework of Master's degree courses at the University of Pisa, provided they are in line with the doctoral project. The Ph.D. student may take advantage of such activities without the need to obtain permission from the Board of the Ph.D. Programme in Biology, after discussion with his/her Supervisor(s).
All documentation related to the educational activities of third-year candidates must be submitted by the date of the assessment of eligibility for the final Thesis discussion.
