Description
The doctoral program in Molecular and Environmental Biology is a 4 years course at the 3rd cycle level and includes both a curricular (mainly during the first year) and a research component. This program is inserted in the multidisciplinary environment of the Molecular Biology and Environmental Center, which allows students to be provided with: i) advanced training in cutting-edge specialty areas; ii) a stimulating scientific environment in high-quality research projects; iii) preparation for an academic career or business, at home and abroad. This postgraduate program counts with the collaboration of researchers/professors of high scientific merit and from national and international universities and institutes, in the following subjects: -Molecular Biotechnology-Biochemistry and Structural Biology-Microbial Physiology and Pathogenesis-Cell Biology and Development-Biomedicine and Health-Biodiversity and Evolution-Ecology and Environment.
To integrate this program of advanced studies and research, the student must have a high level of intellectual ability and work, and demonstrate personal motivation and professional ambition.
Access to higher education
The completion of the PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology and Environmental Biology allows developing research activity at a post-doctoral level.
Careers
At the end of this course, the scientific and technical skills acquired constitute a solid background to perform different professional activities, in particular in the fields of health, environment, industry, agriculture and higher education.
