PhD Studentship in Animal Nutrition and Food Safety, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy

The University of Milan announces a competition by selection on the basis of academic qualifications for the admission of non EU citizens to the following Research Doctorate/Ph.D. degree course:

GRADUATE SCHOOL OF VETERINARY SCIENCES FOR ANIMAL HEALTH AND FOOD SAFETY

A modern development on the theme of third-level training in the area of the veterinary sciences that come under the remit of this School must take the form of an integrated project tailored to achieve global prevention for mankind, for animals and for the environment. In the first place, it must envisage a three-part or three-sided structure encompassing: the study and control of animal feeds and the methods used to administer them, tested on both animals and the environment; the study and control of animal health, whose actual clinical and both physiological and pathological effects have been verified; the study and control of products with an animal origin, tested for human and environmental health. In general, the scale of investigations conducted is expected to vary from research projects aimed at using techniques of molecular biological diagnostics, including nanotechnologies, to perceive the finer mechanisms of action of a substance or an effect, to classical clinical, biochemical and pharmacological research projects, whose aim is to determine the response to an effect or also merely to prevent the occurrence of pathologies rather than cure them.

In order to conduct this research activity, postgraduate students will be able to make use of the skills already to be found in the School with regard to anatomy, physiology, genetics, technologies of reproduction, diagnostics and medical and surgical therapy, oncology, animal feeding and nutritional and metabolic pathologies and the application of feed inspection technologies to guarantee the quality of products with an animal origin.

The system of training credits is applied in the School’s educational and training activities. All postgraduate students are expected to acquire at least 45 credits in these activities, with methods for verifying and recognising the credits.

The activity of academic and training research constitutes the School’s most important commitment and will be conducted by the postgraduate students under the guidance of a tutor.
